Summary of Allegations Against Father Paul Castellani:
Father Paul Castellani was ordained a priest in 1966 and served in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. He served in multiple parishes throughout his career. According to media reports, he was one of 21 priests placed on administrative leave in 2011 pending an investigation for credible allegations involving sexual abuse or inappropriate behavior with minors. He was later found suitable for ministry after determining that the misconduct claims against him were unsubstantiated by the Archdiocese's internal review board. Castellani was returned to ministry in 2012.
