The Catholic Diocese of Lake Charles says it is working on a list of credibly accused priests.

The Diocese released the statement to KPLC after the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge on Thursday released a list of clergy credibly accused of sexually abusing minors.

Diocese statement:

The Diocese of Lake Charles is presently reviewing all files with the help of experienced personnel. Once this process is complete, an objective panel of professionals with expertise in law will assess the files and a list will be compiled that is thorough, transparent, just and truthful. The concern of the clergy and laity of the Diocese remains the victims of sexual abuse.
