It appears handing out these fliers in the cold this Sunday has paid off.

Members of SNAP, or Survivors' Network of Those Abused by Priests, withstood the cold and passed out fliers outside Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Reading today.

They were trying to put a halt to the church's plans to have a priest, accused of sexual misconduct, say mass there next weekend.

"This is a church that is literally surrounded by a school," said Christy Miller, of SNAP.

"It's in the same building and we feel that if Father James Kiffmeyer were here, he would be open to abusing a whole lot more kids," said Miller, "and we don't want that to happen."

No reason was given, but a spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati tell 9News that Father Kiffmeyer will not be coming after all.
