BOSTON (AP) — The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston has placed a Massachusetts priest on administrative leave after receiving an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor.

Rev. Thomas Gillespie is pastor of St. Theresa of Lisieux Parish in North Reading. The archdiocese said Sunday that the allegation concerns the priest’s conduct in the late 1970’s and was recently reported to the Archdiocese.
