Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has removed a priest from active ministry amid an investigation into sexual harassment claims.
Reverend Patrick O'Keefe is said to have harassed adults. He's also accused of inappropriate workplace and ministerial conduct.
O'Keefe recently served as Parochial Vicar of Ascension Parish in Batavia; St. Brigid Parish in Bergen; Resurrection Parish in Batavia and Our Lady of Mercy Parish in LeRoy.
The Diocese says a canonical judicial review of the allegations will be conducted.
