Diocese of Greensburg announces priest will not return to active ministry

GREENSBURG, Pa. — The Diocese of Greensburg has announced one of its priests will not return to active ministry.

According to a release, an allegation against Father James W. Clark has been found to be both credible and substantiated.

Clark was a priest in Uniontown, but he was removed on June 29 after a nearly 50-year-old sexual abuse allegation from while he was working as a janitor at the former St. James School in Apollo.

Clark will not be allowed to return to ministry in any other diocese, either.
