Rockville Centre Parishes Where Accused Priests Worked

Parishes, Schools, and Facilities in the Rockville Centre Diocese
Where Priests and Brothers Accused of Sex Crimes Have Worked

On 2/17/04, the Diocese of Rockville Centre reported that it knew of abuse accusations against 66 priests in the diocese since 1950. The names of only 44 accused priests and brothers have become public. In the table below, we list the 90 parishes and 14 other institutions where those publicly accused clerics worked—only a subset of the total number of accused priests and parishes at risk. In 1959, shortly after its founding, the diocese had 112 parishes. By 2002, the number had risen to 134. Using the larger number to calculate a percentage, this table shows that over 67% of parishes in the diocese had at least one accused priest working there at some time since 1950. One parish (St. James in Seaford) had seven accused priests. In another parish (St. Dominic's in Oyster Bay), 3 accused priests logged 41 non-overlapping years in the rectory. In total, nearly 1,000 person-years were logged by accused priests.

Note: Click the links for additional information on each priest. Priests and brothers included in this table have been accused of sexual abuse and/or possession of child pornography. We make no representation about the truth of the allegations we report, and we remind the reader that in the U.S. justice system an accused person is considered innocent until proven guilty. Reinstatement by the diocese does not constitute proof of innocence.

The data in this table was assembled from the Official Catholic Directory, with some additions from newspaper articles. The Directory is sometimes inaccurate, and it does not provide precise start and stop dates. We are currently refining this table, using start and stop dates provided by a source. If you know of other parishes where these priests worked, or if you notice errors, please contact us, so that we can make this table as accurate as possible. It was last updated on April 15, 2007.
