In 2004, two sisters filed a civil lawsuit against Fr. Philip McCrillis alleging that he had sexually abused them when they were children in the 1960s. Fr. McCrillis was allegedly in a relationship with their mother when the alleged abuse began. In 2003, Fr. McCrillis retired and in 2004 he was removed from active ministry. Fr. McCrillis’ whereabouts and whether he had access to children from 2000 until his death in 2007 are unknown.
