The alleged abuse involved former priest Father Patrick Kervin at Holy Spirit College in Bellambi.
The student was aged 15 when the alleged abuse occurred in the 1980s.
Now aged in his 40’s, the student who cannot be named, told the court Kervin called him to his office to console him as his mother was ill.
He described how Kervin put his hand on his knee then slid his hand up his leg, touching his genitals as he leaned in to kiss him.
