Omaha, NE - The Omaha Archdiocese has reassigned a priest who is serving probation for stealing more than $83,000 from an Omaha parish.

The Rev. Rodney Adams will now be the associate pastor at St. Patrick parish, assisting with Mass, funerals, weddings and other services. The archdiocese says he will not be involved in overseeing parish funds.

Adams was placed on administrative leave in May, after resigning as pastor of St. Bridget and St. Rose parishes.

He was sentenced in December to five years' probation. He was also ordered to pay $23,000 in restitution and perform 500 hours of community service. Adams had taken the money only from St. Bridget.
