Nun Reported Father Daniel McCormack’s Sex Abuse

According to a published article in the Chicago Sun Times, a nun who worked at Chicago’s Holy Family Catholic School where Fr. Daniel McCormack used to say mass has told the newspaper that she had told Archdiocesan officials that she was concerned about McCormack’s behavior as early as the winter of 2000. The nun, who asked that her name not be used, said a fourth-grade boy at Holy Family claimed McCormack asked him to pull down his pants in the sacristy of the church when the two were alone after a Friday mass in 2000. She said she told several archdiocesan officials about the child’s allegations, both verbally and in writing, on several occasions, but her warnings went unheeded.
