Suspended 6/29/18 after the diocese received an allegation of abuse against Clark. The abuse was said to have occurred 50 years previously at St. James School in Apollo, where Clark was working as a janitor prior to entering seminary. The diocese provided no further details about the allegation in its statement about Clark's removal, but it did refer to awareness "of the signs of child sexual abuse and how to report it." Included on the diocese's list of credibly accused in 8/18.

Named publicly as accused in the 8/14/18 PA Grand Jury Report. Report to diocese 5/76 Connell made a sexual advance on a male high school student. In 10/07 a man told the Carmelites that when he was a Nativity High student, Connell abused him at least twice. He said he and his brother, whom he said was also abused, were living at the Order's priory after their house burned down, and that Connell drugged him and he woke up with a bleeding rectum. He said he told Bro. Timothy Johnson who then beat him, warning that he would beat him worse if he told police. The man said he had also been sexually abused in sixth grade in the 1970s by a basketball coach, Jim Gross, at St. Patrick's in Pottsville. Connell reportedly left the Order and became a diocesan priest in San Antonio TX in 1976. He worked at Antonian College Prep until 1988 as teacher, vice-principal, principal. Pastored St. Thomas More parish. Died in 1995. Two San Antonio accusers came forward after publicity in 2018. On San Antonio's list 1/31/19.

Per the 2/10/2011 Grand Jury Report II, a man told the archdiocese in 2007 that Gallagher repeatedly fondled him when he was a 7- or 8-year-old altar boy at St. Mark's in Bristol, PA. Another man had made a similar allegation the previous year. The man who came forward in 2007 reported that others had also been abused. The Review Board deemed both reports unsubstantiated in 2008. The man who came forward in 2007 died by suicide within a year of the Review Board's decision. Gallagher "retired." He was removed in 2/2011. New suits in 4/2011 and 9/2012. Found unfit for ministry in 4/2013. Permanently removed. Died 6/5/1208. Funeral mass concelebrated by Bishop Maginnis.

Named as accused in 8/14/2018 PA Grand Jury Report. Included on the diocese's list of credibly accused. Removed from ministry in 1992 and went on leave of absence. Faculties were withdrawn in 2/1994 after the diocese received a report that Kaczmarczyk had sexually abused three boys, ages 17, 14 and 11. The boys were brothers and family friends of Kaczmarczyk. The eldest was "involved" with the priest from the age of 7. When he was 10 he started staying overnight in the rectory. At one point Kaczmarczyk had the boy make a "Consecration of the Mystical Rose" and wear a rosary ring on his left hand. The abuse occurred in the rectory of Holy Name of Mary in Donora PA and at Kaczmarczyk's home in FL. Convicted in the 1990s, along with another priest, of mail fraud for operating a phony foundation since 1987 to raise money to build a shrine. Sentenced in 1/1996 to 27 months in prison. Kaczmarczyk spent $495,000 on a FL home and other luxuries. He also took $75,000 worth of items from Holy Name Parish before it closed in 10/1992. The other priest stated at trial that Kaczmarczyk began a sexual "relationship" when he was age 15 in the 1970s, which continued for years. The younger priest said he allowed it to go on because his family was in need and Kaczmarczyk would give them money.

Fr. Michael S. Lawrence
Concerns about Lawrence's behavior as early as 1970 while in seminary. In 2002 a man alleged that Lawrence molested him at age 12 during a tutoring session in 1982 at St. Catharine of Siena in Mount Penn. He said told his parents immediately when he returned home, sobbing, and that his father called the church. The next day his father met with the diocese's top administrator. Lawrence admitted to molesting the boy and was gone the next day, sent to St. John Vianney in Downingtown for treatment. He was back in a parish assignment within a year. The boy's father complained again to Bishop Welsh in 1986 and 1994; Welsh removed him from parish work and assigned him to the Diocesan Tribunal. Welsh retired in 1998. Lawrence wasn't removed until 2002. A civil suit was filed in 2004. In 11/2009 a man reported to the diocese that Lawrence sexually abused him at age 13. Lawrence died in 4/2015. Included in the 8/14/2018 PA Grand Jury Report and on the diocese's 8/19/18 list of credibly accused.

In 2016 she said that she discovered after a news investigation in 8/2016 that the priest she had told, Rev. William Geiger, also had allegations of child sexual abuse against him. McHale died in 1997 at age 65. A Delaware judge dismissed her lawsuit in 4/2010, citing no jurisdiction. Included on the Allentown diocese's 8/19/2018 list of credibly accused.

Fr. Kenneth E. Myers
Myers' name was quietly added in 2019 to the diocese's list of credibly accused. In 2021 the credible claim was categorized as "credible and substantiated," which the diocese notes to mean that "the allegation was supported by either an admission by the individual to the abuse or by an examination of the evidence through a comprehensive canonical or criminal investigation." Myers was removed from active ministry. In 1/2022, via a letter in the parish bulletin, Bishop Zubik informed the Latin Mass Community at Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish that the allegations against Myers, who had been their chaplain, were credible and substantiated and that he would remain removed from ministry. This was in response to inquiries about Myers from parishioners.

Fr. Stephen B. Perzan
The archdiocese received two allegations of abuse by Perzan in Philadelphia at St. Gabriel's Hall for delinquent boys: one allegation in 2004 about abuse in 1991, and another allegation in 2005 about abuse in 1994-1995. The first alleged abuse in Philadelphia occurred during a time when Perzan is not indexed in the Official Catholic Directory, and the second alleged abuse in Philadelphia occurred when he was listed in the Directory as assigned to a parish in New Mexico. What's more, the report refers to a 1998 letter from a pastor, complaining about Perzan's behavior with children. The Directory does not list Perzan at the parish in question, but at a different parish. At the beginning of his career, Perzan had three one-year parish assignments, and his move to New Mexico coincides with a slight change in the Directory's spelling of his name. In 2003, with the first grand jury in session, Perzan started a two-year parish assignment in Puerto Rico. This is an extremely unusual Directory record and would be consistent with problems earlier and more numerous than those chronicled in the 2011 grand jury report. Yet the review board deemed the two known allegations unsubstantiated, and Perzan was still in ministry as of 2/12/2011.

Fr. Francis A. Siler
Fr. Rudolph M. Silvers
Silvers was publicly named as accused in the 8/14/2018 PA Grand Jury Report. In 11/1988 a young man, age 18, reported that Silvers fondled him when he was ages 12-15. Silvers denied the abuse. The man asked for money for counseling but the diocese refused, saying there were no funds. The alleged victim met with the diocese in 3/2002; SIlvers again denied the allegations. The diocese agreed to provide financial compensation for the man's counseling since 1979, and going forward. In 1990-1991 the mother of a boy, age 13-14, complained to the diocese about Silvers inappropriate attention toward her son, and was concerned about the same interest Silvers showed to another boy. The woman's son also wrote to the diocese about Silvers' behavior. In 2012 a man reported to the diocese that Silvers sexually abused him at St. Sylvester's in the mid-late 1970s, when he was ages 10-11. Silvers again denied the abuse. Silvers withdrew from active ministry in 7/2002. Included on the Pittsburgh diocese's list of credibly accused.

Fr. Paul G. Spisak
Sr. Ann Marie Paul
In 2021 a woman reported to the Berks County D.A. that when she was a student at Reading Central Catholic High School 1996-98, Paul groomed her and abused her sexually. Paul was a lay teacher at the school, and later entered the convent. The D.A. investigated; no charges were filed, possibly due to the statute of limitations. In 11/22 Paul remains active with her Order.
Fr. Joseph L. Sredzinski
First named publicly as accused in the 8/14/18 PA Grand Jury Report. Included on the diocese's list of credibly accused in 8/18. Died in 2015. Found in 5/91 by police with a young boy in a car parked at night in a cemetery. Mayor of Everson met with Fr. Roger Statnick about the incident, and concerns from the community about Sredzinski spending too much time with boys. Allegation in 6/91 of misconduct while swimming with a boy, and of inappropriate touch with the boy on a drive to Cleveland. Father of boy forbade Sredzinski's contact with his son. Call in 4/02 to diocese from a woman who said Sredzinski abused her relative in 1985 in Brownsville, PA. Accused in a 6/20 lawsuit of raping and sexually abusing a boy 1991-1997, beginning when the boy was age 11.
