WARREN, Pa. — A former City of Warren Catholic priest is among those named by the Erie Diocese on Friday who are no longer allowed to engage in public ministry.

The diocese listed 51 priests and other employees and volunteers — living and dead — who had been “credibly accused of actions that, in the diocese’s judgment, disqualify that person from working with children,” according to the Friday release, with another three who are currently under investigation by law enforcement.

Fr. Salvatore P. Luzzi, who served as priest at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Warren from 1979 through 1995, is among those named.

Luzzi is currently alive, though his actions to be named by the diocese was not made public.
