Reverend Thomas Wilson sreved as senior parochial vicar at st. Frances Cabrini Parish in Center Township, Our Lady of Fatima Parish in Hopewell Township and St. Titus Parish in Aliquippa until October 2018. Reverend Wilson has reportedly admitted to an allegation of inappropriate behavior with a minor, but the diocese says the behavior did not include sexual contact.
