30 Pa. priests accused of sex abuse sent to center for treatment, but some advice ignor

In a nearly 900-page grand jury report on abuse by priests in the Catholic dioceses of Pennsylvania, the name St. Luke’s Institute keeps appearing. It was where Father Joseph Mueller was sent in April 1986 after he tried to pull down the pants of a teenager on multiple occasions, according to the report. The Rev. Richard Terdine, too, was sent there after he allegedly patted the genital area of a boy and massaged his back. In total, at least 30 priests were sent to St. Luke’s Institute, according to the report that goes back decades.
