Farwell was again removed from ministry in Charlotte and then sent to work in the Archdiocese of Miami, with the permission and blessing of Charlotte Bishop William Curlin. In February 1999, Father Farwell was accused of abusing a 10-year-old boy over the course of two years in the early 1980s while Farwell was assigned to St. He did admit to attending Love and Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings as part of his treatment. Farwell returned to ministry in the Diocese of Charlotte in July 1988.įarwell later testified in a 2013 deposition that he stayed at the facility for four months, but that his treatment was for depression, not sexual misconduct of any type. The Diocese of Charlotte announced that he was assigned to a “priestly ministry program” in Rhode Island, but was actually sent to House of Affirmation, a notorious treatment facility for pedophile priests in Massachusetts, for treatment. According to media reports, in May 1985, he was placed on administrative leave for reasons that are not entirely clear. Summary of Sexual Abuse Allegations against Father Richard Farwell:įather Richard Farwell was ordained a priest in 1981, and served in multiple parishes in the Diocese of Charlotte. 2000-2002: Food for the Poor (Deerfield Beach, FL).2000: Queen of the Apostles (Belmont, NC).Farwell – Diocese of Charlotteįather Richard Farwell Diocese of Charlotteįaculties revoked: 2002 Assigned as Follows: Wilderotter has moved back and forth between some of these cities several times.)Īs always, we urge you to call law enforcement if you have any knowledge, suspicions or experiences with clergy misconduct. NC: Charlotte, Forest City, Hendersonville, NJ: Elizabeth, Elizabethport, Maplewood, Hillside Wilderotter has had a very unusual journey as a priest. So on one hand, no one should make assumptions here. Most diocesan priests stay in one diocese for most or all of their careers.Īnd in fairness, obviously no conclusions can be drawn from the fact that two priests shared one non-church employer.īut here we have two clerics from the same relatively small diocese crossing state lines to work for the same relatively small charity. Religious order priests are the ones most often sent across state lines. Wilderotter has had a wider range of assignments than the overwhelming majority of Catholic clergy.Īnd he’s a diocesan priest, not a religious order one. Obviously, many priests are sent to different assignments for perfectly legitimate reasons. Farwell is on the Charlotte diocese’s ‘credibly accused’ list. Farwell has also worked at Food for the Poor.Īnd Fr. Richard Farwell was put on leave in 1985, moved to a different diocese (Raleigh), sent to a church-run ‘treatment’ center (the House of Affirmation in Massachusetts), was indicted in 2002 for child sex crimes and pled ‘no contest’ to ‘contributing to the delinquency of a minor’ in 2004. The sheer number of times he’s moved, especially across state lines, is unusual.Ĭonsider this too: He worked with a notorious credibly accused predator priest named Fr. He’s evidently now with a non-profit (or was in recent years).Īnd he is (or apparently until recently) just down the road from us in Pompano Beach at a non-profit called Food for the Poor. We can’t help but wonder what’s going on with Fr.
