Elizabeth McKenna will never get the apology she always wanted.
Rev. Francis Reed, the Catholic priest who allegedly sexually abused her for a decade, died Jan. 31 in Newcastle, England.
Reed was ordained in 1964. He was assigned to Blessed Sacrament parish on Cathcart Street where he met a 17-year-old McKenna that same year.
“I had always held out a miniscule hope that before he left this Earth he would fully acknowledge what he did and perhaps apologize to me,” said McKenna.
