Rochester, N.Y. – The Diocese of Rochester says that allegations of sexual abuse of a minor against a former Irondequoit pastor are credible.

According to the diocese, the abuse allegations against Rev. Conrad Sundholm date back to the mid-1970s at St. Salome’s Church in Irondequoit where he served from 1974-1982.

Sundholm is now 80, retired, and living in Florida. The diocese says he can no longer exercise public ministry.

Prior to retiring in 1999, Rev. Sundholm served at several local churches: Blessed Sacrament parish (1955-1960), Sacred Heart Cathedral in Rochester (1960-1965), St. Mary’s in Auburn (1965-1971), and St. Cecilia in Irondequoit (1971-1974), and Holy Family/St. Aloysius in Auburn (1982-1999).

To report a case of possible sexual abuse and to receive help from the Diocese of Rochester, to contact the victims’ assistance coordinator, Barbara Pedeville at 585-328-3228, ext. 1215.
