Accused priest worked in Steamboat
Steamboat Springs, Colorado --
A Colorado priest accused of molesting young boys spent several months working in Steamboat Springs in 1990 as an assistant priest.
Steamboat Springs' Holy Name Catholic Church was one of 11 Colorado parishes to receive a letter this week from Denver Roman Catholic Archbishop Charles Chaput. The letter asks parishioners to immediately contact the Archdioceses of Denver if anyone knows about instances of sexual abuse of a minor.
Father Ernest Bayer at Holy Name said he would read the letter to the congregation during Sunday's Mass.
"We have learned a lot from the mistakes of the past," Bayer said. "We try to deal with it immediately, as soon as reported, if it is a credible claim."
Earlier this week, The Denver Post reported that a 49-year-old Southern California man, Brandon Trask, told the archdiocese that Harold Robert White molested him in the early 1970s, when White was the pastor of St. Patrick's Church in Minturn.
On Friday, The Denver Post reported that seven other men have come forward with allegations of being fondled or sexually abused by White.
