\"Bishop_Donald_Kettler_of_Fairbanks_Alaska_File_Photo_CNA_CNA_9_20_13\"<\/a>According to the\u00a0Diocese of St. Cloud web site [ View <\/a>] , “Bishop Donald Kettler will hold a series of listening sessions in August following allegations of sexual abuse committed by three priests of the diocese.”<\/p>\n
