A former priest and cathedral clergyman in Northern Ireland has been suspended from ministry over allegations of sexual assault.
According to the Belfast Telegraph Hugh Kennedy, 59, was working as Administrator at St Peter’s Cathedral in Belfast (above) until this year before working at More House, a Christian school in the Archdiocese of Westminster in London.
Before going to St Peter’s Cathedral in 2006 he served as a parish priest in north Belfast.
Fr Kennedy is also known for appearing in the BBC documentary Choirboys, which looked at the efforts of St Peter’s Cathedral’s choir as it worked up to performing for the Pope at the Vatican.
