A Catholic priest has been charged with child abuse allegedly committed at a church-run Bathurst high school in the 1970s and 1980s.

The 61-year-old is the eleventh priest or former priest to be charged over historic child abuse at the St Stanislaus secondary college dating back to 1960.

He was arrested at his northern Sydney home on Tuesday and charged with 14 counts of aggravated indecent assault, police said.

It’s alleged he abused two boys at the church-run school between 1975 and 1982.
