Members of St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Naples are reacting to information about a priest who once pastored there.

That priest is among the hundreds accused of disturbing acts against children in Pennsylvania.

According to grand jury documents released in Pennsylvania Tuesday, Father Robert Brague was appointed parochial vicar at Saint Ann’s back in 1990, but this came after initial allegations were made in Pennsylvania.

Letters sent to a bishop said that the then 46-year-old Brague impregnated a 17-year-old girl.

The bishop responded to the letter written by the victim’s sister saying: “Father Brague and your sister have a long, difficult road ahead. What has happened is their responsibility and certainly, father Brague will take care of his obligations.”

According to the report, he was moved there in the early 90’s by the church. Father Brague died in 1997.

We talked to members of Saint Ann’s parish Wednesday who say they hope this new

attention will move the healing process forward.
