NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A former Catholic high school president has been suspended from practicing as a priest.
As WCBS-880’s Sophia Hall reported, Father James Williams was the president of Chaminade High School in Mineola from 1999 until 2011.
Now, the Marianist Order has suspended Williams from functioning as a priest after they said allegations that he abused a minor are credible, and the district attorney’s office was contacted.
Chaminade addressed the issue in a letter on their website.
“We believe our actions reflect the promise we have made to ensure the protection of young men,” the letter said.
