Notes: According to the Diocese of San Jose, Fr. Philip McCrillis engaged in sexual misconduct with children while at St. Albert the Great Parish and St. Patrick Seminary between 1968 and 1969. In 2004, two sisters filed a civil lawsuit against Fr. Philip McCrillis alleging that he had sexually abused them when they were children in the 1960s. Fr. McCrillis was allegedly in a relationship with their mother when the alleged abuse began. In 2004, Fr. McCrillis was permanently banned from ministry. Fr. McCrillis’ whereabouts and whether he had access to children from 2000 until his death in 2007 are unknown. The Diocese of San Jose included Fr. McCrillis on its list of clergy with credible allegations of sexual abuse of children.
