In late April 2002, Gerald Moran, then 75 and a member of the Catholic Church clergy, made his first appearance in Abbotsford Provincial Court to face 24 sex-related charges stemming from his involvement at two church-run Indian residential schools — St. Mary's in Mission, and Kamloops.
In the lead-up to Moran's trial, Kevin covered the court proceedings, then was invited to take part in multiple healing circles, held by victims from St. Mary's Residential School in the school itself.
These are their stories.
