EDINA, Minn. (WCCO) — Archbishop John Nienstedt addressed the sex abuse scandal involving priests in the St. Paul and Minneapolis Archdiocese at a mass service Sunday in Edina.
The Archdiocese released a transcript of what the Archbishop said Sunday morning during his homily at Our Lady of Grace Church in Edina at 9:30 a.m., which he’s expected to repeat at the 11:30 a.m. service.
The Archbishop is expected to address the media for the first time, as well.
According to an advance copy of his remarks, Nienstedt is expected to talk about this issue that has gotten so much attention in recent weeks, saying in part, “I am here to apologize for the indignation that you justifiably feel. You deserve better.”
