Timeline

2008

During a 2008 lawsuit against the Diocese of Belleville, information was revealed about Zuroweste's treatment of a child abuser priest. In 1973 Gina Parks, a 16 year-old parishioner in St. Francisville, Illinois, told diocesan officials that her parish priest, Raymond Kownacki, had raped and impregnated her. Kownacki also encouraged Parks to have an abortion. After hearing her story, Zuroweste did not report the allegations to the police or initiate an investigation. Instead, he transferred Kownacki several months later to St. Theresa Parish in Salem, Illinois, without any restrictions. By 1982, allegations surfaced that Kownacki was sexually abusing young boys at St. Theresa, resulting in the 2008 lawsuit.

1976

On August 30, 1976, Pope Paul VI accepted Zuroweste's resignation as bishop of the Diocese of Belleville. Albert Zuroweste died on March 28, 1987, in Belleville at age 85.

1971

In December 1971, Zuroweste excommunicated Reverend Bernard Bodewes, a diocesan priest he had sent to Cairo to help Montroy. Bodewes had sued Zuroweste for $7,350 in damages for withholding his pay since January 1st. Bodewes said that Zuroweste had withheld the pay because he was angry over Bodewes' support of Montroy's initiatives in Cairo. By 1972, Zuroweste took action to evict Montroy and the organizations working in Saint Columba.

1969

In 1969, Zuroweste became embroiled in a racial dispute in Cairo, Illinois. He had sent the Reverend Gerald Montroy to Cairo in 1968 to minister to the poor and to African-Americans. After meeting with the local pastor, Montroy became convinced that the pastor had no desire to welcome African-Americans to his parish. In response, Montroy reopened St. Columba, a shuttered mission in Cairo, and started holding masses there for African-American Catholics. He also provided facilities for Black Power activists looking to challenge racial discrimination in that city. Zuroweste came under pressure from Cairo to recall Montroy, but gave him qualified support after demands from progressive Catholic organizations. After several shooting incidents, Montroy accused a local white group of vigilantism and the local pastor of trying to oust him.
