A public funeral service will be held for Anthony Foster, father of two children who were sexually abused by a priest.  The funeral will be held by the State of Victoria, Australia. on Wednesday, June 6, at 10:30 a.m., Australia time.  (That would be -I think- 8:30 pm EST tonight in the US.)  Flags are being flown at half staff in Victoria all day.

Anthony and Chrissie Foster were instrumental in the establishment of the Victorian inquiry into child sex abuse and into the establishment of the Royal Commission on Institution Response to Child Sex Abuse.  Both of these investigations and the investigations in Ireland have been instrumental in exposing the extent of child sex abuse and in its coverup within the Catholic Church.
