The Rev. Anthony Palmese was associate pastor of Holy Ghost Parish in 1984-1985 and a member of the New Jersey-based Order of Augustinian Recollects when the alleged abuse took place. The man and his family were members of the parish at the time. Palmese died in 2012.

The archdiocese learned of the allegation on Dec. 30, 2013, said Deacon Tim McNeil, chancellor of the archdiocese. The allegation was reported to local law enforcement and the order's headquarters. McNeil said that because Palmese belonged to the Augustinian Recollects, the order is carrying out the investigation.

McNeil said the archdiocese tries to notify a parish within weeks of receiving an allegation or following the completion of a preliminary investigation, but the archdiocese recently learned the specifics of the complainant's allegations. McNeil also indicated that the complainant was reluctant to cooperate with the order's investigation.
