Rev. Mulhall served 24 years at Annunciation Church
A Catholic priest who served the last 24 of his active priesthood at Annunciation Church in Ilion has been added to the Albany Diocese’s List of Credibly Accused priests. Rev. J. Gregory Mulhall was at the valley church from 1961 to 1985, when he retired from active ministry. The incident that Fr. Mulhall is accused of involved a vulnerable adult.
According to a report in the Albany Times Union, the victim came forward with a formal complaint last year. The survivor has since passed away. A review board examined the complaint and recommended to the Bishop of Albany that the complaint be accepted for consideration.
Father Mulhall passed away in 2001 at the age of 90.
There are four allegations of abuse by Fr. Mulhall filed according to the Child Victim’s Act. The Albany Diocese urges anyone who may have been abused by a priest or deacon to report it to your local police or the diocese.
