On May 31, 2024, The Province of Our Mother of Good Counsel published a list of all the friars of our province who have established allegations of the sexual abuse of a minor. For the full text, please see the letter of the Provincial at this link.

Two of the friars on the list served at Cascia Hall back in the 1960's and 1970's. John D. Murphy served for one year, from 1969 to 1970, and was dismissed from the Order in 1993. Frank Paduch was stationed at Cascia Hall from 1977-1980 and left the Order in 1989. 

 

Currently, there are no Augustinians with established allegations serving in public ministry within the Province. If there are any concerns, please reach out to our Assistance Coordinator, Fr. John Merkelis, OSA, at outreach@midwestaugustinians.org.
