MISCREANT PREACHERS: Child pornography in the Name of the Lord (#345 in a series)

Photo and headline:  WIVB, 7/. /2026

Angelica Gallagher reports:

Jeffrey Nowak, 46, of Lackawanna, the now inactive pastor of Our Lady Help of Christian’s Perish in Cheektowaga, appeared in federal court Thursday, after being arrested on child pornography charges. 

“I just hope, as a society, we are beginning to default to believing the survivors, instead of questioning the survivors and protecting the perpetrators,” attorney Steve Boyd said. Boyd has represented hundreds of survivors of sexual abuse from the diocese. 

“No one is beyond the reach of the FBI,” FBI Special Agent Allen Davis said. “No vestment, no title, no profession, no position of trust places anyone above the law. When someone has earned the trust of a community and is accused of exploiting children, that cuts even deeper.”

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.  (1 Timothy 4:12)
