An area priest has been removed from ministry following church officials receiving a three-decade-old allegation of sexual misconduct involving minors.
 
The Altoona-Johnstown Diocese says it has placed the 63-year-old priest on leave from his post at the Saint Catherine of Siena Parish in Mount Union.
 
The diocese says it received the complaint on Friday and forwarded information to the Cambria County district attorney's office.
 
The priest has been moved from the parish and will have no contact with children.
