A national victim’s advocacy group called for local Catholic Church officials to reach out to potential victims of a former Las Vegas priest facing accusations of abuse in Hawaii.
Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, SNAP, wants the Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas to tell its parishioners about the allegation against the Rev. Maurice McNeely.
A 48-year-old Hawaii man sued McNeely and a North Dakota diocese in October, saying the priest sexually abused him when he was a boy in Hawaii.
SNAP’s founder, Barbara Blaine, said McNeely preached at the Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer sometime in the 2000s.
