Fr. Donald W. Dusza

Ordained: 1983
Status: Reinstated

Diocese: Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown PA

Pastor of Prince of Peace in North Cambria when placed on leave in 6/2019 due to an allegation that he engaged in sexual misconduct in the 1980s with a “young person.” Reinstated in 10/2025, the Dicastery for the Clergy stating, ” Given the length of time that has passed since both the initial allegation and the authorization to begin a penal process concerning the alleged reserved delict, and since the Ordinary has not shown any just and proportional reason for the continuation of the restriction, the Dicastery determines that the restrictions are no longer proportional to their apparent cause.”

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
