A priest who once served at Holy Cross school and parish in Northeast has been accused of sexually molesting a boy in the 1980s.

John Doe M.F. of Missouri recently filed a lawsuit in the Jackson County Circuit Court alleging that Father Mark Honhart molested him as an 11 to 12-year-old boy while Honhart was working at Holy Cross.

John Doe also named the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph as a defendant in the suit, which stated that the St. Joseph Diocese knew about Honhart’s past behavior, but chose to hide it. John Doe is seeking unspecified damages.

Another lawsuit against Honhart was filed in March, which alleged he molested an 8 to 9-year-old boy in the 1980s.
