Bishop Richard Malone hosted a “Holy Hour of Prayer” for victims of clergy sex abuse Sunday.

During the hour Bishop Malone took the opportunity to apologize for his own missteps in handling two cases involving adult victims.

“I know that I failed in the way I responded to allegations during my time here,” said Malone.

Bishop Malone has been under constant scrutiny since releasing a list of 42 priests accused within the Diocese of Buffalo.
