Few details available about Mazur’s placement on leave
About 100 people attended Mass at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona at noon Thursday. Some were visitors who were unaware of recent news, and some were locals who just didn’t hear the news yet.
It’s safe to say more than a few were a bit confused when the presiding priest referenced “difficult times” in the opening and closing prayers.
Monsignor Robert C. Mazur, the Cathedral’s rector since 1995, was placed on leave from public ministry Wednesday.
John McIntyre of Hollidaysburg attends Mass daily at the Cathedral or another church.
Regarding Mazur, he said he knew him to be a good man.
