Parishioners at St Bride’s Parish Church are urging the Bishop of Motherwell to let Father Paul Morton return.
The Reformer has been inundated with messages of support for Fr Morton, after police ended their investigation into an allegation of an historic incident of sexual abuse without charge.
And they are united in their joy, as well as wanting the priest to return to St Bride’s, where he has been based since 2000.
Fr Morton has always been popular with his parishioners. After he previously took a sabbatical from St Bride’s, a petition was sent to the Bishop of Motherwell requesting Fr Morton return to St Bride’s.
