Maryanski, Wolski remain barred from ministry
The Diocese of Buffalo has cleared two priests of sexual misconduct allegations and found two others guilty of the allegations after an internal review.
Allegations of child sexual abuse against the Revs. Fabian J. Maryanski and Mark J. Wolski have been substantiated and they will remain on administrative leave, the diocese said Friday in a written statement.
But allegations against the Rev. Roy Herberger and Msgr. Frederick R. Leising “have not been substantiated,” the diocese said, and the two priests have been returned to active ministry, diocesan officials said, although Leising is retired.
The decisions follow an internal diocese investigation and a review by the Diocesan Review Board, which reviews cases involving sexual abuse and misconduct against clergymen and religious sisters.
The results of the diocesan investigation continue to be reviewed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith at the Vatican in Rome, which will make the final determination, the diocese said.
