BRIDGEPORT,
Saturday, January 26, 2008, 7:00 a.m. - Daniel L. Schwartz,
Employment Law Partner in the Stamford office of Day Pitney
LLP, representing Saint John Roman Catholic Church in
Darien and the Bridgeport Roman Catholic Diocesan Corporation,
has issued the following statement regarding Bethany D'Erario's
threat to sue:
"We have received a letter from Mrs. D'Erario's
attorney threatening to sue Saint John Church and the
Diocese of Bridgeport.
"It would be inappropriate to discuss the details
at this time.
"We have reviewed Mrs. D'Erario's claims and
determined that they have no merit.
"We note that Mrs. D'Erario voluntarily resigned
from Saint John Parish in August 2006, approximately
18 months ago, and this is the first time that she has
raised any claims regarding her resignation."
