As the Investigation into allegations against Archpriest Paisius DeLucia proceeds, His Eminence has established a Response Team to conduct additional witness interviews and inquiries, review affidavits and statements received by the Diocese, and engage in additional investigative efforts to address allegations and complaints. Reader Bede, a retired federal investigator, and Licensed Private Investigator with extensive alleged misconduct investigative experience, will serve as the contact person on behalf of the Diocese for this investigation. Reader Bede is not attached to this Diocese.

Witnesses are asked to kindly contact Reader Bede at 866-866-5252 or via KodIsland@gmail.com to provide statements. Intake of those witnesses who would like to appear, if possible, at the Spiritual Court proceedings will likewise be coordinated by him. Witnesses can be assured of a timely response to messages and emails received.
