PITTSBURGH (AP) — In a story Aug. 18 about a retired priest accused of molesting a child in the early 1960s in western Pennsylvania, The Associated Press reported erroneously that he now resides at a home for retired priests in the Boston area. The Boston Archdiocese said the Rev. John Carroll lives at an assisted-living facility neither owned nor operated by the archdiocese.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Boston priest. 86, accused of Pennsylvania abuse
Retired Boston priest accused of abuse while working in Pittsburgh diocese in early 1960s
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh’s bishop has notified parishioners that a retired priest now living in Boston has been accused of molesting a child at a western Pennsylvania parish where he served in 1962 and 1963.
Bishop David Zubik also urged anyone who attended St. Michael Parish in Elizabeth — or five other Pittsburgh-area parishes through 1972 — of the allegations.
