Newry, PA. —
“It’s almost like someone dropping a bomb. I mean the people are in shock. They loved this priest very much,” Raymond Crosser said.
Words from Reverend Raymond Crosser after he was asked by the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona and Johnstown to fill in for Monseigneur Anthony Little, a local Blair County pastor placed on leave.
The Bishop, Mark Bartchak made this decision quickly after allegations that little molested a young boy in the 1990s.
Little had been a priest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona and Johnstown for years. He was recently on active ministry at St. Patrick’s Parrish in Newry. He was forced to relocate to a location where he will have no contact with kids.
