A former Blenheim priest who fondled a young man's buttocks
committed a serious offence and will never be a parish priest again,
says the acting leader of his Catholic order.
Passionist order acting leader Kevin Hennessy said there was no way Alastair Aidan Kay would escape the consequences of his actions. The order saw the offending as serious despite Judge Bruce Davidson saying it was a low level indecent assault, made worse by a substantial breach of trust.
