A Saskatchewan priest responsible for three parishes in small rural villages has been accused of sexual assault.

The diocese told Glacier Media that they learned today the police charged Fr. Anthony Atter and they removed him from his position and will co-operate with police. “As soon as the diocese learned of these charges, Fr. Anthony Atter was removed from ministry,” said Kiply Lukan Yaworski, Communications co-ordinator, Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon. “The diocese will be cooperating fully with police on this matter, and is unable to respond to questions and comments on the case at this time, while it is under investigation and/or before the courts. “The Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon takes the matter of sexual abuse and serious misconduct very seriously and is committed to the care and support of victims of sexual abuse,” added Yaworski.
