The Archdiocese of Milwaukee announced Tuesday it would remove the names of former archbishops William E. Cousins and Rembert G. Weakland from buildings as part of the Catholic Church’s response to the clergy sexual abuse scandal.
The sign at the Archbishop Cousins Catholic Center in St. Francis will be removed at noon, and a new name announced with a temporary sign at 10 a.m. Friday., according to the announcement from the archdiocese.
The Weakland Center is located north of the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in downtown Milwaukee and is the site of parish offices and outreach initiatives. It was named after Weakland following the renovation of the cathedral and the surrounding block in 2000.
