Pembroke Pines Priest's Sexual Abuse of Boys Covered Up by Archdiocese of Miami

A 41-year-old man who served under a Catholic priest in a Pembroke Pines parish as a boy in the 1980s has filed a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Miami for sexual abuse. The civil lawsuit claims that several boys at the parish were also abused and that although the abuses were reported to the Archdiocese of Miami, the reports went ignored.
The priest, now retired, is Father Harry Ringenberger, who served at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church, was eventually reassigned to a new parish within the Archdiocese of Miami, and then worked at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Fort Lauderdale until he retired in 2014.
