Two credible abuse allegations have been made against a retired Kansas City priest. We are saddened that KC Catholic officials are apparently trying to keep this quiet by putting it only in a church publication. They should be alerting all the parishioners and the public very aggressively, begging others with information or suspicions about this priest to step forward, get help, call police, expose wrongdoers and start healing.

We are grateful to the brave victims who spoke up and hope they will continue to seek help.

Fr. George Seuferling, who retired in 2001, is accused of inappropriate behavior with non-minors. Officials with the Archdiocese of Kansas City, KS say the allegations are credible. Fr. Seuferling’s work is supposedly being limited to doing wedding and funerals of relatives. We believe a stricter limitation should be imposed. At a minimum, for the safety of the public, he should be sent to a remote, secure, independent treatment center for evaluation.

We hope anyone who saw, suspects, or suffered child sexual abuse by Fr. Seuferling will immediately call secular law enforcement. It is never too late to report what you know and doing so will help keep other people safe.
