A 2005 letter from a retired priest to an official at the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Portland shows that Maine’s bishop knew that a
priest was sexually abusing boys at a Bangor church in 1956, according
to an advocate for victims and an attorney.
The late Bishop Daniel J. Feeney knew that the Rev. James Vallely , now deceased, abused children at St. John Catholic Church in Bangor before 1956, according to Robert M. Hoatson, president of Road to Recovery Inc., a New Jersey-based nonprofit charity that assists victims of sexual abuse and their families.
