Comes after removal of Fr. Frank Phillips as pastor of St. John Cantius Parish
A group of friends is uniting behind a Chicago priest accused of “improper conduct” with men.
Protect Our Priests announced Wednesday in a press release the set-up of a non-profit corporation to assist Fr. Frank Phillips with the legal costs of a canon lawyer, a civil lawyer and associated costs following his removal as pastor of St. John Cantius Church in Chicago and superior of the Canons Regular of Saint John Cantius.
“There is significance in the fact that we have launched Protect Our Priests during Holy Week,” said co-founder Frank Williams. “We intend to walk with Fr. Frank every step of the way. Our faith guides us and our prayers sustain us. We know from everything that Father has taught us that ‘Love does not rejoice in evil but rejoices with the Truth.'”
