The Albany Diocese is investigating sex abuse claims against one of their own. The allegations are against Father Gary Mercure, a leader of two Troy congregations. At his own asking, the priest has been granted a leave. On this Sunday, however, the faithful are finding his absence hard to come to terms with.

NEWS10's Nicol Lally has reaction from one of the churches where Father Mercure served.

"It's just very sad that this has to continue for our Catholic Church," spoke one unnamed churchgoer.
