Shock and disgust surrounded the neighborhood of Mount Union, near the Saint Catherine of Sienna Parish. When residents in this small town heard that the priest at the church was accused of allegedely molesting kids three decades ago.Donald Kullen: "As far as I'm concerned he was an outstanding priest," said David Kullen, a part time janitor at the school.

"I think it's disgusting," said Curry Dashbach, a resident of the town.

Six news was there as Reverend George Koharchik and some helpers were packing up his personal belongings from his home which is located right next door to the church. People who knew Koharchick are shocked by the allegations, especially because, they say he was such a nice guy.

Kullen tells me that Koharchick was a dedicated priest who recently helped redesign the Saint Catherine of Sienna Parish.

"He takes care of his business around here; he's dedicated," added Kullen.
