What the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Report Means for Survivors of Diocese of Providence Clergy Abuse If you are reading this page, you already know what happened to you. You may have known for decades. You may have carried it in silence since you were a child — a priest at a parish in Providence or Cranston, the grooming that started with attention and gifts, the abuse that followed in a rectory bedroom, the words that still echo. And you may have just learned, from a report released on March 4, 2026, that the Attorney General of Rhode Island spent years investigating the Diocese of Providence and confirmed what survivors have been saying all along: 75 Catholic clergy abused more than 300 children since 1950, while bishops worked to downplay, minimize, and conceal what was happening inside their own churches. This page is not a news article.

We want you to hear this first: the report validates what you have always known. What the Church denied, what the institution minimized, what bishops wrote memos about avoiding — a sitting Attorney General just put it in a government document and called it what it is. You were not believed because the system chose not to believe you. That system just broke open. The report, released by Attorney General Peter Neronha, is the first comprehensive independent audit of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence. It identifies 75 credibly accused clergy members who, between 1950 and 2011, abused more than 300 victims according to the Diocese’s own records.
