The Archdiocese of Hartford
has been sued by a former altar boy, claiming he was sexually abused by
a priest who served three parishes in Greater New Haven. The Rev. Daniel McSheffery has been accused of abusing the man,
now 49 years old, between 1977 and 1982 when McSheffery was pastor of
St. George Roman Catholic Church in Guilford.
McSheffery was ordained in 1956 and also served at St. Mary Church in Branford, St. Augustine Church in North Branford and St. Augustine Church and its school in Hartford, according to the lawsuit filed by attorney Thomas McNamara of McNamara and Goodman in New Haven. McSheffery died in 2014, according to Maria Zone, spokeswoman for the archdiocese, who said church officials would have no other comment on pending litigation.
