The letter is about the retired Monsignor Daniel Mayall. The allegations of sexual abuse of a minor date back 30 years ago while he served at St. Francis Borgia Parish on the Northwest Side.
The notification letter was also sent to worshipers at Saints Joseph and Francis Xavier Parish in Wilmette, where Mayall served more recently and where he now lives in retirement.
Mayall has been instructed to remain out of ministry and refrain from all parish and school activities.
The letter said the monsignor denies the allegation and has agreed to cooperate with the instructions and the investigation.
