Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput announced Friday that two additional priests, including one with extensive ties to Delaware County, have been found unsuitable for ministry.
Four others were found suitable for ministry.
The Rev. David Givey, 68, a retired priest who served on staff at Our Lady of Peace Parish in Ridley Township, St. Katharine of Siena parish and Archbishop Carroll High School in Radnor, and Archbishop Prendergast High School in Upper Darby, was found to have engaged in inappropriate behavior with minors.
Allegations against the Rev. John Bowe, 64, parochial vicar at St. Joseph Church in Warrington, Bucks County, were also substantiated.
“In the cases of those found unsuitable for ministry none were due to a substantiated allegation of sexual abuse of a minor and five were due to a substantiated violation of the Standards of Ministerial Behavior and Boundaries,” the archdiocese said in a prepared statement. “The priests found unsuitable for ministry will have no public ministry in the Archdiocese.”
