Note: Despite the publication of more than 200 newspaper articles and letters regarding the many serious problems at the St. Peter, Bishop Doran never addressed the parish, either in person or in a letter. Once or twice he visited for Confrimation ceremonies but seriously failed to responsibly face the music in Geneva, even after paying out $2.2 million of parishioners' donations for his failed leadership and own moral bankruptcy. A profile in cowardice and greed, Doran's financial appeals for more money from St. Peter parishioners never halted.
