PHILADELPHIA - Two priests have been found "unsuitable for ministry" following allegations of sexual abuse of minors.

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced the decision Sunday.

One of them, Monsignor George Mazzotta, most recently served at Saint Madeline Parish in Ridley Park and Stella Maris Parish in Philadelphia.

Church officials say an allegation of abuse that happened in May 2010 had been substantiated.

The other priest, Monsignor Hugh Campbell, is already retired. He most recently served at Saint Maximilian Kolbe in West Chester in 2007.

Last December, officials say, he reported his own misconduct.

Both men have agreed to "accept a supervised life of prayer and penance."
