	Priest Ordered to Stay Away from Children Malta Star October 6, 2011 http://www.maltastar.com/pages/r1/ms10dart.asp?a=16734 The Vatican has ordered Fr Conrad Sciberras, implicated in the child abuse cases at St Joseph's Home, to stay away from children when he carries out his priestly duties. Lawrence Grech, one of the young men abused at St Joseph's Home, says that Fr Sciberras used to touch his private parts when he was 13 years old. Grech says that Fr Sciberras also abused other children staying at the home. Last month Fr Sciberras hit back at Grech by lodging a protest in court saying that Grech was not saying the truth. On Wednesday afternoon, the Missionary Society of St Paul responsible for running St Joseph's Home and the order that Fr Sciberras belongs to said that there was no moral certainty that Fr Sciberras had abused children but as the allegations against him raise very serious suspicions, Fr Sciberras was ordered to restrict his priestly duties to working amongst adults. Fr Sciberras has been for years away from Malta, working at Albano Laziale near Rome as the editor of a magazine run by the Focolarini Movement.
