Xaverian Missionaries Protecting Young People
Podcast of a Survivor of Clergy Abuse
Jessica McGuire, survivor of clergy sexual abuse, is telling her story in this podcast, with assistance from Dr. Russ Surveyer and Fr. Carl Chudy.
Awake hosted this Courageous Conversation on September 18, 2025. It featured three survivors of abuse by Catholic leaders, Michael Vanderburgh, Leona Huggins, and Maria Silvers, in a conversation moderated by Awake’s executive director, Sara Larson. This conversation focused on healing after abuse and what these three survivors have found helpful and harmful in their healing journeys. Learn more: www.awakecommunity.org/courageous-conversations
