Voice of the Faithful, the lay Catholic group founded during the church's clergy sex abuse scandal, has raised enough money to keep operating for now.The Massachusetts-based group sent a letter to its members last week, saying its financial situation was so dire that it might be forced to close its Needham headquarters unless it raised $60,000.
On Tuesday, the group said its plea raised more than $63,000. The money will be used to pay operating costs for July and August.
The group hopes to raise additional money so it can continue to operate long-term.
Voice of the Faithful was founded in 2002 during the clergy sex abuse crisis. Its mission is to give lay people a greater role in the Roman Catholic Church.
