HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Roman Catholic diocese is planning to hold several prayer services for sexual abuse victims more than two months after a Pennsylvania grand jury found two former bishops helped cover up the sexual abuse of hundreds of children by dozens of clergy over four decades.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1OuKvMN ) Bishop Mark Bartchak of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown is planning to hold a service Monday evening at St. Andrew Parish in Johnstown, followed by another Tuesday evening at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona.

A third is planned Thursday evening at Our Lady of Victory Parish in State College.
