SANTA FE, N.M.—Letters released from a California settlement says a pedophile priest sent to Jemez Springs for treatment in 1984 was later assigned to parishes in Socorro and Belen by then-Santa Fe Archbishop Robert Sanchez.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports (http://goo.gl/KkrdP) that letters say Peter E. Garcia was at the San Miguel Parish in Socorro from mid-1985 through 1986, and was later the parochial vicar of Our Lady of Belen Church.
Garcia is one of dozens of priests named in documents released in a Southern California case involving hundreds of sexual-abuse victims.
