A long-serving deacon from a prominent Catholic church in St. Clair Shores has been ousted and is under investigation by the Macomb County Sheriff's Office for allegedly misusing parish funds.
Sunday church services continued at the St. Joan of Arc parish without a prominent member.
"He will no longer serve as the deacon at our parish and his ability to present himself as a deacon has been restricted by the Archdiocese of Detroit," a parishioner said.
The staff says they are unable to comment further on the investigation.
