	Police Say Darien Priest Spent $1.4 Million of Church Money Associated Press, carried in News Times September 12, 2007 http://www.newstimeslive.com/news/updates.php?id=1186571049&source=news_updates New Haven — Federal authorities say a former Darien parish priest accused of spending $1.4 million of church money on luxuries is due in court Wednesday to enter a guilty plea, a court clerk said. The Rev. Michael Jude Fay, former pastor of St. John Roman Catholic Church, is expected to plead guilty in U.S. District Court in New Haven to interstate transportation of money obtained by fraud, according to the clerk. A message seeking comment was left for his attorney. Last July, the Bridgeport Diocese released the results of an investigation. The report detailed how Fay allegedly used church money for limousine rides, stays at top hotels around the world, jewelry, clothing from Italy and the purchase of a condominium in Florida with another man. About half the money he spent was kept in a secret bank account, according to the report. Fay has been under federal investigation. He resigned as pastor last May. this story has been read 1207 times
