Church officials are unveiling new plans Monday, to keep children safe a year after child abuse was discovered in the Altoona-Johnstown Catholic Diocese.

Bishop Mark Bartchak hinted that new policies were in the works last week.

Today, the Bishop will hold a news conference in Johnstown to unveil the diocese' new plan to protect children from sexual abuse.  

Local abuse victims and congressman Mark Rozzi have been outspoken and very critical of the Church's response after it found more than 50 priests were involved in a cover-up.

Monday's news conference is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.  

WTAJ will have a crew there, and will bring  you updates throughout the day.
