We are learning more about the priests named in that explosive grand jury report who are accused of committing sexual abuse against children.
According to the report, three of the accused priests served at one parish in Schuylkill County.
Parishioners of St. Ambrose Parish in Schuylkill Haven settled into the church for an evening Mass on Wednesday, a Holy Day of Obligation for the Feast of the Assumption.
This service comes just a day after that scathing grand jury report detailed decades of child sex abuse by more than 300 priests in six dioceses, including here in the Diocese of Allentown.
“I feel bad for everyone involved. I feel bad for the poor people that have suffered from the abuse, the Church as a whole is now suffering,” said Heather Smalley.
The report lists that three priests at St. Ambrose committed sex crimes while assigned there.
