Summary of Case: Michael M. Lewandowski was ordained in 1975 for the Conventual Franciscans of Our Lady of the Angels Province in Ellicott City, MD. He worked as a teacher and athletics coach at two high schools in the Diocese of Buffalo until 1991, after which there is an unexplained gap in his assignment history. In 1992 Lewandowski was assigned to assist at a Springfield MA parish before assuming the role of pastor of another in 1994. He moved in 1997 to the Altoona-Johnstown diocese where he began a 17-year run as pastor at St. Anne’s in Davidsville.
Lewandowski was removed from public ministry in May 2014 after his Order received an allegation that he had sexually abused a minor in the 1980s.
