Advocates for clergy sex abuse victims are concerned.

Two priests who used to work in Rhode Island, accused of abuse in other states, may have victims here.

Concerned citizens are asking Providence Bishop Thomas Tobin to reach out to parishioners of churches where those priests worked.

Reverend Philip Magaldi worked in Johnston, Providence and Cranston in the 1960's and 70's.

Reverend Aaron Cote, a Dominican priest, worked in Providence in 2005.

Neither priest has faced criminal charges in Rhode Island.

The Providence Diocese says it already has an ongoing outreach program in all churches, encouraging parishioners with information about abuse to come forward.
