2 More Philly Priests Removed From Ministry

Posted: Updated:
PHILADELPHIA -

Two Philadelphia priests will be kicked out of the ministry after a child sex abuse probe.

Six priests were placed on administrative leave after allegations of inappropriate contact were made in the February 2011 grand jury report.

Archbishop Charles Chaput ruled two of the suspended priests, Rev. John Bowe and Rev. David Givey, are not suitable for ministry but said the cases involved "boundary" or "behavioral" problems, not sexual assaults.

Bowe most recently served at Saint Joseph in Warrington from 2005 to 2011.

Givey has not been at a parish since Our Lady Of Peace in Milmont Park in 2001.

He was placed on leave in 2001, retired in 2006 and placed on leave again in 2011.

    It was a soupy start today. We can expect many clouds, some sun, lots of humidity, and a chance of pop up showers any time. At least it'll be warmer: High around 80-degrees today.

    The weather remains unsettled through most of the work week. Warm temps stick around, too. And we do mean stick...because it'll be humid, too.

    By Thursday a cold front moves by bringing more rain.  It will also bring drier and cooler weather by Friday as we finally clear out.
