ALTOONA, Pennsylvania — A Roman Catholic diocese in Pennsylvania says it plans to sell the bishop’s residence, and some of the proceeds will benefit sexual abuse victims.
The Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown says Bishop Mark L. Bartchak will move into the rectory of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona.
Spokesman Tony DeGol tells The Altoona Mirror (http://bit.ly/1jVWI8s ) that Bartchak’s schedule keeps him away from home frequently. DeGol says the bishop is a “simple man” who “doesn’t need to live in a house that large.”
