ByThe Archdiocese of Chicago has sent a letter to Catholic school families alerting them to the termination of a teacher with a history of child molestation allegations in Illinois and other states. According to the letter, the male teacher was employed as a substitute at Queen of Martyrs Catholic School in Evergreen Park earlier this month.
The letter states the terminated teacher also worked in at least three other South Side and south suburban Catholic schools over the past 16 months. The Archdiocese of Chicago says as of now, none of the allegations took place at any Chicago-area schools. "We have learned, however, that one family in the south suburbs filed a complaint... with their local police for conduct that occurred while he was tutoring in their home," the letter from the archdiocese read in part. The Archdiocese of Chicago says they're cooperating with DCFS and two suburban police departments regarding the matter. ABC7 Chicago has not named the employee because it was not clear if he has been charged with any crimes in the Chicago area.- "Working as a long-term substitute in St. Walter-St. Benedict School during the 2024-25 school year." - "Working as an employee of a third-party vendor assigned to Pope John Paul II School at the beginning of the 2025-26 school year." - "Working as a private tutor for at least one family with a student enrolled at a Catholic school in the south suburbs and possibly more than one family."No further information was immediately available.
