National group to ask local diocese to oust priest

WICHITA (KS)
Wichita Eagle

A national advocacy group for victims of clergy sexual abuse plans to urge the Catholic Diocese of Wichita to remove a priest from his parish, accusing him of sexually assaulting a woman from a west Wichita parish last year.

Janet Patterson of Conway Springs, a national board member of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, has scheduled a 1:15 p.m. press conference today in front of diocesan headquarters at 424 N. Broadway.
