In a November, 1995 confidential memorandum, the Diocese noted that Zabowski had acknowledged the possibility of inappropriate touching and acknowledged sharing his bed with boys for “companionship.”

Zabowski was sent to St. Luke’s Institute for an evaluation. In an evaluation dated November 28, 1995, it was noted that Zabowski admitted to “affectionate hugging” of teenage boys.

In an August, 1996 confidential memorandum, the Diocese observed that Zabowski had admitted that the allegations against him “could potentially be true” and that he should not be involved in any relationship with teenage males.

In a letter dated June 26, 2003 Zabowski informed Bishop Wuerl the “therapy helped him deal with allegations of placing himself with adolescent boys in a sexually inappropriate manner, gave him the ability to deal with and yes, overcome the sexual ignorance and social backwardness of his life.”
