A residence hall at the Saint Joseph's Children's Home in Torrington will continue to bear the name of former Wyoming Bishop Joseph Hart.
That's the word from current Bishop David Ricken. He says accusations made last week in a lawsuit against Hart are not enough by themselves to warrant taking Hart's name off the youth center.
Last week, a former parishioner of Hart filed a lawsuit in Missouri, alleging that Hart had molested him when he was 12 years old. It was the fifth such lawsuit against Hart.
Hart has not responded to this most recent allegation, but has repeatedly denied any sexual misconduct.
