Archbishop Chaput has restored Monsignor Joseph L. Logrip to ministry after concluding that allegations that he sexually abused minors over two decades were unsubstantiated.
Logrip was among 26 priests placed on administrative leave following a February 2011 grand jury report on sexual abuse by Archdiocesan priests. His is the last case to be resolved by the Archdiocese.
Of the priests placed on leave, fourteen were found unsuitable to return to the ministry, ten were permitted to return. One died before the investigation concluded. The investigation resulted in the arrest of one priest.
Logrip, 67, served in parishes in Philadelphia, Norristown, Plymouth Meeting and most recently, Saint Stanislaus, Lansdale.
