KANSAS CITY, Kan. —
The Kansas City, Kansas, Catholic Archdiocese announced Tuesday that investigations were underway after allegations of “boundary violations” were made against one of its priests.
The archdiocese said in a news release that the allegations against the Rev. Scott Kallal, AVI, came from two difference sources.
Officials said a preliminary investigation into the allegations by the archdiocese revealed violations of some of the archdiocese’s safe environment guidelines, which all clerics, employees and volunteers are asked to observe when interacting with young people.
Because one of the allegations involved a minor, the Kansas Department for Children and Families was notified. The investigation is ongoing.
The Independent Review Board has been asked to review the matter and make recommendations.
