THE MANAGER of the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle support service that clerical abuse survivors have been encouraged to contact wasn't told for more than six weeks about paedophile priest Vincent Ryan's death.
Clergy Abused Network chairperson and co-founder Bob O'Toole said he sent a text message to Healing and Support (Zimmerman Service) manager Magda Mycak last Friday to ask if she knew Ryan had died. He said she replied 'No, I didn't know'.
