KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas has temporarily relieved a Roeland Park priest of his “ministerial responsibilities and restricted (him) from exercising his priestly ministry” pending the results of an investigation into allegations of improper touching.
According to a statement from the archdiocese, the alleged victim, now 45 years old, says the priest inappropriately touched him during a youth outing in 1982, when the alleged victim was 15 years old.
The Diocese named the priest in the statement as Father John Wisner, who has served as a associate pastor at St. Agnes Parish in Roeland Park since 1985.
Ordained in 1972, Wisner has served at Sacred Heart and Christ the King Parishes in Kansas City, Kansas and at St. Joseph Parish in Shawnee, according to the archdiocese.
