	Darien Church Bookkeeper Sues Diocese By Zach Lowe Advocate March 31, 2008 http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/ci_8756616 STAMFORD - The bookkeeper who blew the whistle on a Darien priest who stole $1 million from St. John's Church has filed suit against the church and the Diocese of Bridgeport, claiming they harassed and threatened her after she exposed the thefts. The suit, filed late Friday by Bethany D'Erario, also sheds light on the lavish spending habits of the disgraced Rev. Michael Jude Fay, who used church money to buy Waterford crystals, gifts for his gay lover and a Burberry coat for his dog, according to the suit. Fay was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison for the thefts. Fay told D'Erario to "mind her own business" when she questioned his use of church money to pay suspicious credit card bills, the suit states.
