A local retired priest has been removed from public ministry after a sexual abuse accusation, according to the Duluth Diocese.
The Diocese announced Sunday that the retired priest has been accused in the sexual abuse of a minor. They said he worked for 56 years at many parishes, including in Duluth and on the Iron Range.
The alleged abuse happened at least 27 years ago, but the Diocese said the accusation is recent.
