Anthony Bolger

Ordained: 1969

In 2013, a plaintiff brought a lawsuit alleging that Father Bolger abused him when he was 12 years old at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church and St. Anthony School. The abuse allegedly occurred from 1978-1981. At that time, Bolger was both an associate pastor at the parish and a teacher at the school. Bolger went on to serve as associate pastor at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace and later at the Co-Cathedral of St. Theresa and the Child Jesus, both in Honolulu. He then became pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul Church. He returned to St. Anthony’s and was also assigned to St. Theresa Church in Kihei prior to his retirement in 2002. He died in 2015.
