DETROIT -- Three Michigan priests have been removed from the ministry over child sex abuse allegations.

Church officials said William Brennan (pictured, left) last served at St. Sebastian in Dearborn Heights. Alfred Miller was last assigned to Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Temperance, Mich., and Gary Bueche was last at Saints John and Paul Parish in Washington, Mich.

The decision by the Vatican prohibits the men from wearing clerical garb or presenting themselves as priests.

The three priests are on a leave of absence following the allegations.
