Last month Archbishop Charles J. Chaput appointed former First Assistant District Attorney of Philadelphia John P. Delaney Jr. as director of the archdiocesan Office for Investigations, succeeding the retired Albert Toczydlowski, who was the founding director of that office seven years ago.

“The work of the Office of Investigation,” the archbishop said in a statement, “is critical to our efforts to protect children and ensure integrity within archdiocesan operations.”

While praising Toczydlowski for his excellent service in pioneering the work of Office for Investigations, he said, “I’m confident that Mr. Delaney is the ideal candidate to continue the work of this vital office. He has the right mix of leadership skills, professional background, credibility and energy to serve in this demanding position.”
