	2 NY Priests Avoid Jail Time for Separate Crimes WCAX January 12, 2010 http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=11809243 WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) - Two Catholic priests have avoided jail time, one for stealing from his parish and one for groping a female parishioner. The Rev. Patrick Dunne was sentenced Tuesday to five years probation and 250 hours of community service for grand larceny. He had admitted taking $432,000 from Our Lady of Sorrows Church in White Plains, where he was pastor. The judge said Dunne, who's 65, was to have no access to parish funds at his new post at another church. At another sentencing in the same Westchester County Courthouse, the Rev. Richard Ordonez (Or-DOHN'-yez) of St. Vito's Church in Mamaroneck was sentenced to 500 hours of community service. The 38-year-old had admitted inappropriately touching a woman who had come to him for marriage counseling.
