The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo is one of a number of Diocese contacting parishoners about alleged misconduct by a priest. Father Michael Kolodziej, a sixty-nine-year-old Franciscan Friar, is being investigated for possible sexual abuse of a Baltimore area high school student four decades ago. Kolodziej was ordained as a priest in Buffalo in 1970 and spent various terms in the region with positions at Bishop Turner, St. Francis and Cardinal O'Hara High Schools and Villa Maria College.
The Buffalo Diocese is providing information about the case on its website.
