What you should know about the resignation of Father John Paul as Pastor of Our Lady of Calvary parish:

1- This weekend Father Dunleavy, Regional Dean, will inform the parish that Father John Paul has resigned as Pastor and no longer resides at OLC.

2- Earlier this year, the Archdiocese was notified of allegations of sexual abuse of minors against Father Paul dating back 45 years.

3- Consistent with its policies concerning such allegations, the Archdiocese immediately provided this information to law enforcement authorities.

4- After investigating the matter, law enforcement authorities

DECLINED TO PRESS CHARGES AGAINST FATHER PAUL.

5- These allegations involved no member of OLC either 45 years ago or since.

6- As a result of the extreme emotional duress experienced by Father Paul while the allegations were being investigated, and out of heartfelt concern for the families of OLC, Father Paul voluntarily resigned as Pastor so that the best interest of the parish could be served.

7- DURING THE THIRTEEN YEARS IN WHICH FATHER PAUL WAS PASTOR, OLC WAS, AND CONTINUES TO BE A SAFE AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT.

8- The Archdiocese has appointed Father John Babowitch as our new Pastor and he will be arriving on December 2nd.
