Summary of Case: Fabian J. Maryanski was ordained for the Diocese of Buffalo in 1971. He assisted in Buffalo and Lockport parishes until 1980, when his status was “Awaiting Assignment.” In 1981 he was assigned to assist at an Amherst parish until 1984, beginning what became an eleven-year stretch as sole priest at St. Patrick’s in Barker.
In 1995 Maryanski was investigated and removed from ministry after the diocese was informed of allegations that he had sexually abused a girl at St. Patrick’s in the mid-1980s, beginning when she was age 15. He was allowed to return to ministry in 2000, as an assistant in Cheektowaga, then in 2004 as pastor of St. Andrew’s in Sloan. He retired in 2014, continuing to minister, mostly at a parish in Clarence.
In May 2018 a news outlet reported that Maryanski had been investigated and removed in 1995. A day later he was once again placed on leave; Bishop Malone said the investigation into the allegations would be re-opened.
