ALLOUEZ – A former Catholic priest and convicted sex offender has been relocated from an apartment he rented one block away from his victim’s grandmother.

State corrections officials said they were unaware for several months that Donald Buzanowski was living so close to his victim’s family.

The situation has prompted Allouez village leaders to consider new local restrictions and neighborhood alert procedures whenever a sex offender seeks to move into the community.

Joy Staab, spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections, said Buzanowski was relocated effective Thursday to a state-run facility for criminal offenders on Green Bay’s west side.
