A news conference will be held in Duluth to announce a civil lawsuit against the Dioceses of New Ulm and Duluth.
The lawsuit is being filed on behalf of a man, Doe 30, who claims he was sexually abused by Father J. Vincent Fitzgerald, who is now deceased.
The man met Father Fitzgerald as a young parishioner at St. Thomas More in the Diocese of New Ulm.
Fitzgerald later brought Doe 30 to another parish in the Diocese of Duluth, where was abused.
the lawsuit claims the defendants should have known that Fitzgerald was a risk to children and failed to protect Doe 30.
