Pastor since 2012 and to say parishioners dont like him is an understatement. Theres an online petition calling for his ouster and a website with a long list overgreens. Hes supposed to be the leader of this parish, hes supposed to be the shepherd. How can you do that. How can you put somebody here that has these terrible accusations. The lawsuit goes even further, alleging mcquellly used church fund to buy this house in brick new jersey and that the money has fueled a lavish lifestyle for the 53 yearold priest and his alleged boyfriend. Father mcquellly wasnt around today but the Office Manager at the rectory came to his defense. Whatever they say is up to them, its their choice to say whatever they choose to say. People who do not know facts can be ignorant. And the archdiocese says it has investigated many of these allegations and says if theres any wrongdoing they have found no proof of it. Well have much more on that in another live report coming up at 5 30. Eyewitness news. Thank
