PITTSBURGH (PA)

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A protest will be held downtown Wednesday afternoon to urge the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese to break their silence about an alleged predator priest who used to work in the city.

According to a press release, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) will protest outside of the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese headquarters on the Boulevard of the Allies around 2 p.m.

The protest will be about Fr. Michael Ledoux, a Franciscan priest, who resigned from his position near Philadelphia after reports accused him of reportedly molesting a child.

For the last nine years, Ledoux had worked at Widener University, but prior to that he spent time at Duquesne University, Sierra Catholoc High School and St. Pamphilus parish in Pittsburgh.
