At the steps of the St. Paul Cathedral Church Oct. 7 Frank Meuers of Plymouth came forward claiming he had been sexually abused by a priest, KARE 11 reports.
Meuers showed KARE 11 the letter he sent to church officials that Father Rudolph Heinrich of St. Margaret Mary parish in Golden Valley had sexually abused him.
Meuers feared there were other victims too and after nine months heard back from church leaders that admitted they had spoken to others who were abused by Heinrich, who is deceased, reported KARE 11.
Archbishop John Nienstedt provided a statement saying such allegations of sexual abuse would be addressed urgently and are a top priority.
