Summary of Case: Andrew W. Pawlaczyk was an Erie diocesan priest, ordained in 1962. For nearly a decade he was a Cathedral Prep faculty member and assistant priest at St. Stanislaus parish, followed by five years as an Army chaplain, then two years in residence at St. Patrick’s. From 1979 until his death in 1982, Pawlaczyk’s status was ‘On Duty Outside the Diocese.’ The Erie pages of the Official Catholic Directory do not show his whereabouts during this time.
On May 18, 2018 Pawlaczyk’s name was added to the diocese’s list of clergy, lay employees and volunteers credibly accused of child sexual abuse. Allegations against him were noted to have been reported after his death.
