A former St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church priest is under investigation, according to a letter Diocese of Venice Bishop Frank Dewane wrote.

“Bishop Frank Dewane read a letter to the congregation about charges leveled again a former priest who was here in 1993,” said Mike Purdy, an information center employee of The News-Press, who attended today’s 4 p.m. mass at St. Francis Xavier in Fort Myers.

“He (the priest) has denied the allegations but has agreed to discontinue his duties until such time the investigation can be completed.”
