The pastor of a church in Rome is being investigated for abuse of a minor. Fr. Paul Angelicchio is the pastor of St. John the Baptist and Transfiguration parish, and the diocese announced that the decision was made as a result of an allegation of abuse that has surfaced after 27 years.
A memorandum of understanding is now in place, signed by District Attorneys in the region and the Syracuse Roman Catholic Diocese concerning reports of sexual abuse of children by members of the clergy.
