Today, Rev. Joseph Gallatin was removed from ministry and his case
involving an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor has been referred to
Rome for adjudication and final resolution. In 1998, the Archdiocese received an allegation that Rev. Gallatin
had inappropriate physical contact with a minor.
The matter was considered by three Archdiocesan Review Boards, in 1998, 2002 and 2014. Each time, the earlier Boards concluded that there was not sufficient evidence to support a finding that Rev. Gallatin’s conduct in 1998 constituted sexual abuse of a minor. The 2014 Board recommended that Rev. Gallatin be permitted to continue in limited ministry. Rev. Gallatin’s ministry was restricted accordingly.
