A Catholic priest here has been removed from ministry due to a past allegation of sexual abuse, the Diocese of Camden has said in a statement.
The Rev. John Bohrer, administrator for St. Teresea of Calcutta Parish in Collingswood and Haddon Township, was accused of sexual misconduct during the mid-1980s, the statement said.
The alleged abuse occurred while Bohrer was assigned to St. Pius X Parish in Cherry Hill, the diocese said.
According to the statement, Bohrer, 74, announced his retirement for health reasons over the weekend in a letter to St. Teresa of Calcutta parishioners.
