A Waterbury priest who has served in New Haven and East Haven and
once ran the St. Francis Home for Children has been suspended as a
result of accusations that he sexually abused a minor at the school.
The Rev. Jeremiah N. Murasso has been pastor of two Waterbury
parishes, Blessed Sacrament and the Shrine of St. Anne, since 2012.
He was director of the St. Francis Home, also known as Highland
Heights, from 1992 to 1995. He also served at St. Joseph Church in New
Haven from 1982 to 1985 and at St. Vincent de Paul Church in East Haven
from 1985 to 1989.
“The Archdiocese of Hartford
has learned that an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor has been made
against the Rev. Jeremiah N. Murasso,” said the statement by the
archdiocese. It said he had been placed “on administrative leave until
this allegation is resolved.”
Criminal charges have not been filed, according to the state judicial branch website.
