Summary of Case: B. Samuel Turillo was ordained for the Diocese of Providence in 1946. He assisted in parishes in Warwick, Providence, West Warwick, Cranston, Barrington and Woonsocket, and he served as a hospital chaplain. In 1971 he was named pastor of St. Joseph’s in Hope Valley, followed in 1979 by Sacred in West Warwick. He retired in 1994. In June 2016 the diocese announced that Turillo was “prohibited from exercising the sacred ministry” due to a credible allegation against him of sexual misconduct with a minor which occurred about 60 years previously.
