A National support group for victims of abuse by priests has opened an El Paso Chapter.

SNAP, or the Survivors Network for those Abuses by Priests, was started in El Paso by a man who claims he was abused by an El Paso priest decades ago, he tells KFOX "Its been very hard, my religion. I was religious before and its kind of really struck to the soul of my existence as far the people in charge denying responsibility."

SNAP will hold its first meeting in El Paso on April 7th at 6:30pm. For more information you can call 474-7499.
