Twelve priests with local connections have been named in a 182-page report naming 395 Catholic priests and lay people reportedly accused of sexual misconduct in Illinois. Seven of the names already had been released by the Springfield and Peoria dioceses in reports of substantiated claims.
Named in the report are:
º Alvin Campbell, who briefly served at St. John Catholic Church in Quincy in 1952.
º Joseph Cernich, who had been a deacon at St. Mary Catholic Church in Quincy before ordination in 1983.
º Kevin Downey, who worked at Quincy College, now Quincy University, in two different stints from 1983 until 1985 and from 1986 to 1991.
