Clergy abuse survivor Mark Joseph Williams joins Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney and Jai Agnish to share his powerful story of confronting the suffering caused by abuse. Williams is the author of “Torrent of Grace: A Catholic Survivor's Healing Journey after Clergy Abuse,” in which he details spiraling into substance abuse and shame in the aftermath of trauma. He finds hope and healing in a place few survivors would look—The Catholic Church. He is a forensic psychological clinician with an MS in Social Work from Columbia University. Williams co-founded Global Collaborative, a survivor-led organization, and represents the Archdiocese of Newark as a special advisor. He also serves on the North American Safeguarding Committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Williams lives in New Jersey with his wife, Karen, and they have four grown children and seven grandchildren.
