PLEASE READ THIS AT ALL MASSES THIS WEEK-end

FATHER MCCAMLEY HAS ASKED ME TO READ THIS FOR YOU.

MY DEAR PARISHONERS,

YOU ARE AWARE THAT SERIOUS CHARGES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT AGAINST ME. AS A RESULT, I WILL BE ON LEAVE FROM THE PARISH UNTIL THESE MATTERS CAN BE SETTLED, MY INNOCENSE ESTABLISHED, AND I can UNDERGO AN IN DEPTH PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ME AS I WILL FOR, THAT GOD'S WILL BE DONE.

Note: According to a parishoner who attended the 5:00pm Mass on Saturday March 1st, the priest who said Mass added the following statement:

"Fr. McCamley has NOT been removed or suspended.""
