The Dominican Order of Priests has decided to place its sex offenders from the ten most western states, including Alaska and Hawaii at St. Albert's Seminary in Oakland.

The main problem is the church didn't tell anyone -- the neighbor's of the seminary or the schools nearby -- about their plan to move the sex offenders in. And now they are facing stiff resistance.

Several survivors of clergy sexual abuse protested outside St. Albert's Seminary in Oakland and spoke to neighbors after Sunday night's I-Team investigation revealed seven priests, admitted sex offenders, are living there.

Dan McNevin, Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP): "I'm telling you, these men are a clear and present danger to the kids in this town, we don't want any more kids hurt. We are afraid it may be too late."

The head of the Dominican's western province says he had no responsibility to tell the neighbors or local schools about the presence of men who molested children and teens, boys and girls, decades ago or as recently as 1999.

Dan Noyes: "Should the neighbors know? Should the local schools know?"

Father Robert Corral, Western Dominican Province: "Again, I don't think there's that kind of danger or need to inform local schools."

Father Corral says he is "reasonably sure" the priests will not offend again because of counseling and supervision.

But the principal of Claremont Middle School, just four doors from the seminary, wishes he had a warning from the church before the I-Team broke the story.

Dave Chambliss, principal of Claremont Middle School: "Just the opportunity to know would have given us the chance to look at all of the range of options we could have done to notify parents or work with the district."

A spokeswoman for the Dominicans told us, perhaps they should have handled it differently.

Carla Hass, spokeswoman, Western Dominican Province: "I can't go back and rewrite history."

Dan Noyes: "But you would do it differently in the future?"

Carla Hass, spokeswoman, Western Dominican Province: "I think we'll do it differently in the future, if we need to, sure."

That's not enough for the Oakland councilwoman for Rockridge. She wants a police investigation and a meeting with the seminary.

Jan Brunner, councilwoman from Rockridge: "I think we have to get into a room and start talking with each other, but I just don't believe you should bring sex offenders from another area into a new neighborhood."

In the meantime, the activists will be out leafleting the neighborhood.

Terrie Light, SNAP northwestern director: "If they really were wanting to help these men not offend again they would tell the public, here we are, we're the guys that offended, please keep us away from your children."

Particularly of concern is a 40 year-old priest from Salt Lake City, Utah who admits sexually abusing teenage girls five years ago. The province says they've reported the priest to authorities in Salt Lake but the police there tell us they've received no calls from the province or anyone about the priest.
