A Catholic Priest has been found not-guilty of an alleged historical indecent assault at a Wollongong school in the 1980s.

58-year-old Father Patrick Kervin served as a school counsellor, chaplain and teacher at Holy Spirit in Bellambi where it was alleged the assault occurred on the then 15-year-old boy.

The case came to light as a result of the former student detailing his molestation to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

It was then referred the Department of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and concluded at Kiama District Court on Wednesday.
