Fr. Kenneth E. Myers

Myers' name was quietly added in 2019 to the diocese's list of credibly accused. In 2021 the credible claim was categorized as "credible and substantiated," which the diocese notes to mean that "the allegation was supported by either an admission by the individual to the abuse or by an examination of the evidence through a comprehensive canonical or criminal investigation." Myers was removed from active ministry. In 1/22, via a letter in the parish bulletin, Bishop Zubik informed the Latin Mass Community at Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish that the allegations against Myers, who had been their chaplain, were credible and substantiated and that he would remain removed from ministry. This was in response to inquiries about Myers from parishioners.

Fr. Rudolph M. Silvers

Silvers was publicly named as accused in the 8/14/18 PA Grand Jury Report. In 11/88 a young man, age 18, reported that Silvers fondled him when he was ages 12-15. Silvers denied the abuse. The man asked for money for counseling but the diocese refused, saying there were no funds. The alleged victim met with the diocese in 3/02; SIlvers again denied the allegations. The diocese agreed to provide financial compensation for the man's counseling since 1979, and going forward. In 1990-1991 the mother of a boy, age 13-14, complained to the diocese about Silvers inappropriate attention toward her son, and was concerned about the same interest Silvers showed to another boy. The woman's son also wrote to the diocese about Silvers' behavior. In 2012 a man reported to the diocese that Silvers sexually abused him at St. Sylvester's in the mid-late 1970s, when he was ages 10-11. Silvers again denied the abuse. Silvers withdrew from active ministry in 7/02. Included in 8/18 on the Pittsburgh diocese's list of credibly accused.
