The Bridgeport Diocese has suspended a priest for an alleged incident of child abuse.

Bishop Frank Caggiano released a letter Wednesday informing diocese members there was “credible evidence” that Stephen DeLuca committed one incident of child abuse more than 30 years ago.

DeLuca had been serving as priest in residence at St. Catherine of Siena Church in the Riverside section of Greenwich and was the chaplain at Greenwich Hospital. Before that, he had served as pastor of St. Agnes Church in Cos Cob for many years.
