Depositions

Deposition transcripts provided by the ASF were taken as part of legal proceedings against the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, The Servants of the Paraclete, their clergy, and occasionally additional entities of the Catholic Church located in states outside of New Mexico. The sub-series also includes a small number of deposition summaries and sworn statements. Case numbers have been redacted to protect the privacy of survivors, therefore the transcripts are organized by deponent/witness and the date of deposition. Names of accused clergy have been indexed when possible. Many depositions, while centered on a specific claim, may include testimony related to additional accused priests.
