The Rev. Frank Parisi, the pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in
Malverne for the past 11 years, announced in an open letter to
parishioners last weekend that he had been accused of “inappropriate
behavior with a minor” in an incident that occurred just over 20 years
ago.
Parisi wrote that the allegations were presented to the diocese during the previous week, and that in accordance with diocesan policy, he had left his position at Our Lady of Lourdes. “I have voluntarily stepped away from active ministry until such time that these allegations have been investigated and I have been cleared of them,” he wrote. “I would ask you to pray for me during this difficult time.”
