	For Reading at All Good Shepherd Parish Masses, January 1 and 2 Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver January 1, 2011 http://www.thedenverchannel.com/download/2011/0103/26347007.pdf [full text] Dear Friends, In April this year I removed the priestly faculties of Father Mel Thompson, placed him on administrative leave and made the necessary report to civil authorities. I did so in accord with our archdiocesan polities for the protection of children and young people, because of an allegation made against Father Thompson of sexual misconduct 30 years ago with a minor. From the beginning, Father Thompson has maintained his innocence of this allegation. As you may know, Father Thompson once served at Good Shepherd Parish.
