A grand jury report issued last week details abuse by dozens of Catholic
leaders in the small communities of Altoona-Johnstown from the 1950s to
the 1990s. One of Brian Gergely’s fellow altar boys had a code he would use to
signal danger in the room where they and the priest prepared for mass.
“He would say ‘red buttons’, and that was the alert that the priest was coming up behind you, and we would try to get away from him, running around the desk in the middle of the room where he kept the chalices, the host and the wine,” said Gergely, 46. Gergely was 10 at the time.
