Among the former priests named in the church documents made public Tuesday is Thomas Job, who was assigned to St. Joseph Catholic Church in Libertyville and then St. Bede Catholic Church in Ingleside, both in the 1980s.
Job was named in a 2005 settlement of a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Chicago by 24 adults who claimed they were molested by priests.
According to documents available for public review at abusedinchicago.com, archdiocese officials in 1983 were aware of accusations Job “had engaged in sexual activities” with a teenage boy while a pastor in LaGrange.
According to the memo from the Archdiocese, Job agreed to monthly supervisory sessions with a vicar. Additionally, the pastor of the Libertyville parish was to serve as an on-site supervisor, according to the document.
