Parents say monsignor at Palos Heights school called students 'lousy Catholics'

PALOS HEIGHTS, Ill. (WLS) -- Parents at a southwest suburban Catholic school are outraged after they said a monsignor verbally abused children during Mass.

Students said Thursday at Incarnation School the Reverend Monsignor George Sauraskas called them "lousy Catholics" and said he's happy the school is closing because they don't go to Mass anyway.

The school called parents to apologize. The Archdiocese of Chicago said it's looking into the incident.
