OLD FORGE – The Bishop of the Diocese of Scranton said it is unsettling to him personally that yet again a priest is involved in alleged inappropriate, immoral and illegal behavior.
His statement comes after a priest from a church in Old Forge was caught allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old boy.
Father Jeffery Paulish began serving as an Assistant Pastor at Prince of Peace in July, returning to serve the Roman Catholic Church after taking a leave of absence for health reasons.
Father Paulish walked out of the Dunmore Police Department handcuffed, accused of molesting a teen.
The Old Forge Priest grew up in Blakely. Diane Kwolek lives only a few doors away.
“I`m shocked, I would never ever, ever in my life suspected this,” said Kwolek.
