A Denver-based Catholic order identified 13 friars with credible sexual abuse allegations against them Thursday.
The Capuchin Province of St. Conrad is based in Denver and covers Colorado, Kansas and Missouri. It also includes the diocese of Belleville, Peoria and Springfield in Illinois as well as two houses in San Antonio, Texas.
All of the allegations involve either a minor or a vulnerable adult.
Of the 13 friars accused, three are dead and four have left the order. One of the deceased left the order prior to his death. According to the order, none are in active ministry.
