As the light faded from the Canberra sky, the families and friends of
victims of past child sexual abuse at Marist College gathered for a
long-awaited healing ceremony on Thursday night.
At once an acknowledgement and apology for the abuse suffered by college students during the late 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, and the failures to act at the time, the ceremony also marked a College plea for forgiveness and a public pledge that such events would "never happen again".
