In the wake of community outcry, the Catholic Church says it has now removed three former priests from a Catholic-run retirement home neighbouring two Canberra primary schools.
One of the men, who was sacked after an internal investigation into inappropriate behaviour towards children, had been living at the Garran home for more than two years before the schools were alerted by the Catholic Church.
It is not known why the other two priests needed to be moved or how long they had been living at the home.
In a statement, Matt Casey from the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn simply said the other two priests were “removed from the ministry for other matters”.
