Fr. Gregory Weider
Parish priest. Diocesan Chaplain for Scouting 1972-1980. Chaplain in the early 1980s for the National Catholic Committee on Scouting. Weider retired in 2010 and was working in 2021 as a sacramental minister at Sacred Heart in Margaretville and St. Anne’s in Andes. He was placed on leave 8/14/2021 due to an allegation in a lawsuit filed 8/7/2021 under the NY Child Victims Act that he sexually assaulted and abused a boy, age 14, 1977-1978 at St. Mary’s in Coxsackie. The boy was a foster child living with a family that attended the parish. Weider was previously accused in two other claims, in 2004 and 2010, and was kept in ministry. In 5/2022 the diocese announced that it would add Weider to its list of credibly accused. Died 7/12/2024.

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.
