The Holy See has notified the Archdiocese of Philadelphia that the request of John Delli Carpini to be removed from the clerical state was granted. In response to a credible accusation of sexual misconduct involving a minor, John Delli Carpini was removed from active ministry in 2002. John Delli Carpini functioned as a priest of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia from May 1976 to April 2002, during which time he served in the following parishes:

- Saint Luke the Evangelist, Glenside
- Saint John the Evangelist, Philadelphia

as well as on the faculty of Roman Catholic High School with residence at Immaculate Conception Parish, Jenkintown, and Saint Monica Parish, Philadelphia.

He served as a Seminary Professor at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary, as Chaplain at Saint Cabrini Home, Senior Sisters Residence with residence at Saint Louis Parish, Yeadon, and was on staff at the Archdiocesan Office Center.

Removal from the clerical state means that in accord with canon law John Delli Carpini is no longer incardinated in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and he is unable to function as a priest anywhere.
