Diocese undergoing audit for clerical abuse

Earlier this year, Bishop Brungardt met with the Assistant Director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) and the head of a KBI internal Task Force created to investigate abuse reports received from the public, including accounts from anyone who has been victimized by members of the clergy (all denominations are included in the task force investigation).  The Diocese is cooperating with the task force and has engaged an independent auditor who is currently in the process of reviewing all clergy files, past and present.  Findings of that review will be shared with the KBI and the Kansas Attorney General.
