Fr. Lawrence Kuntz
From Ontario, Canada. Per his obituary, after ordination Kuntz taught at St. Jerome’s College in Ontario and St. Stanislaus College in Chicago. He was next assigned in Louisville KY, then returned to parishes and later St. Jerome’s infirmary in Waterloo, Ontario. He died in 1952. Per news in 6/2004, a man said that he was molested at age 7 in 1928 by a “Father Lawrence” at St. Cecilia’s in Louisville. The Archdiocese confirmed that a Fr. Lawrence Kuntz worked at the parish 1928-1935. This plaintiff did not file suit against the Archdiocese but is one of three plaintiffs in a class action suit filed against the Vatican. The suit does not include allegations against specific priests. The case against the Vatican was dropped in 8/2010.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
