'We place this and all difficult situations in the hands of God. We will continue to pray for those hurt by his actions. May God be the source of their healing,' the Diocese of Cleveland told Ohio Media.

Robert McWilliams, who was ordained by the Diocese of Cleveland in 2017, was convicted in July of sex crimes he committed involving children, beginning in the year he was ordained.
