Cardinal George Pell is likely to be transferred from a high-security Melbourne
prison for first-time inmates to a medium-security prison for pedophiles in nearby Ararat after he lost a court appeal on Wednesday of convictions on charges of molesting two choirboys.
Chaplain Andrew Hayes said he was nervous about meeting Pope Francis' former finance minister in the Ararat prison.
"It will be nerve racking for me to have the No. 3 in the world sitting there and I'm the person there to look after him," Hayes told Ten Network television.
