KIEL - A retired Catholic priest serving in Kiel has been removed from active ministry.

Rev. Loren Nys is leaving Saints Peter and Paul Parish, in light of allegations made more than 40 years ago.

The allegations were discovered during a recent review of Nys' personnel files, which including the letters from two parents.

The letters indicate Nys engaged in inappropriate conduct with children.

The Salvatorian order, which Nys is a part of, says the conduct did not involve the touching of private parts. However, the order did conclude the touching was inappropriate.

Those allegations were in two letters from parents, concerned about inappropriate touching.


The order says while the touching did *not* involve private parts, it was inappropriate.

No other allegations have been filed against Nys in the 43 years since the allegations.

The retired priest will now reside in Milwaukee, with other retired Salvatorian priests and brothers under the supervision of the Salvatorian provincialate.
