Northeast priest among those suspended from Archdiocese
A priest working for St. Timothy’s in Mayfair and the Immaculate Mary Home in Holme Circle is among the 21 suspended by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for allegations of sexual abuse.
Among the 21 names, four have ties to Philadelphia parishes. Fr. Thomas Rooney is the only one with ties to the Northeast, but is the latest in a local list; priests and teachers from Our Lady of Calvary and St. Jerome face charges, as well.
