REVERE — The Archdiocese of Boston named a temporary administrator Wednesday for a Revere parish where a Catholic school worker was placed on leave after a report of three possible indecent exposure incidents. The parish pastor and two school employees, including the principal, have resigned.
The Rev. Charles Bourke has been tapped by Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley to lead the church and school at Immaculate Conception in Revere on an interim basis, an archdiocesan spokesman said in an e-mail. Bourke is pastor at St. John the Evangelist in Winthrop, said the spokesman, Terrence C. Donilon. An interim school principal has not been named yet, Donilon said.
The shakeup came as school officials from the Archdiocese of Boston met Wednesday morning with parents at the school, which serves students in prekindergarten through Grade 8. A second meeting with parents was scheduled for Wednesday evening.
The archdiocese revealed Tuesday that it had received reports of three incidents of “potential indecent exposure” by the worker in a boy’s bathroom at the school over the last six weeks. The bathroom is intended to be only used by students, the archdiocese said.
