A CATHOLIC priest will face court charged with indecently assaulting two teenage boys at a school in the NSW Hunter region in the 1960s.

Police on Thursday served court attendance notices on the 83-year-old Glenbrook man's legal representatives in Sydney.

He is facing eight counts of indecent assault with a child under 16 years.

Police allege the offences occurred in the early to mid 1960s when the man was teaching at a school in Newcastle.

The man is due to appear at Newcastle Local Court on February 26.

The charges stem from an investigation by Strike Force Georgiana, which was established in 2008 to examine allegations of child sexual abuse by various priests within the Lake Macquarie area.
