Frederick Priest Accused Of Sexually Abusing Minor
The Archdiocese of Baltimore is responding to sexual abuse allegations involving 73-year-old Monsignor Thomas Bevan, pastor of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Cumberland.
The archdiocese said it learned of the allegations in June, which were immediately reported to civil authorities in Frederick County.
Bevan denied the allegations at an Aug. 19 meeting. The archdiocese removed him from the ministry and revoked his faculties to function as a priest, according to a press release.
The acts allegedly occurred in the mid-1970s while Bevan was serving as an associate pastor at St. John Catholic Church in Frederick, Md.
The individual, a minor, alleges he was abused on a number of separate occasions when he was a student at a parish school, according to the release.
In 2005, the archdiocese received an allegation of sexual abuse against Bevan dating to 1974, which he denied. The archdiocese reported the allegations to authorities. According to the archdiocese, there was not enough evidence to remove him from his duties.
Bevan was ordained in 1963. In addition to serving at St. John in Frederick from 1974 to 1979, he also served at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Middle River from 1963 to 1974. Bevan was the executive director of the Secretariat for Priestly Life and Ministry for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, now the USCCB, from 1992 to 1997. During his time as an associate at Mount Camel, he taught Religion and Church History at Mount St. Mary's.
Representatives of the archdiocese met with parishioners and staff at St. Patrick Sunday to inform them of the allegations and answer any questions.
