Fr. Raymond Francis Skriba
Accused of abuse of at least three girls while assigned to St. Walter in Morgan Park in the 1960s. The Archdiocese in 3/1970 determined “there was guilt here,” and quietly moved Skriba to another parish. Remained in ministry until 6/2002, when he took administrative leave after allegations that he abused two girls at St. Gertrude’s in the 1960s; removed from public ministry in 7/2002, several months after the Review Board found reasonable cause to believe the allegations were true. At least one claim was included in a 10/03 $8M settlement. Permanently removed from public ministry in 9/2005. Brother of accused priest Richard Skriba. Personnel files released in 1/2014. Died in 1/2014. Included in the 5/23/2023 IL Attorney General’s Report, which notes 9 “reported survivors.”

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.
