	Archbishop: Kenosha Priest on Leave after Alleged Phone Conversation with Girl Greenfield Reporter May 8, 2011 http://www.greenfieldreporter.com/view/story/23e5d7279475482d968747999b97ec6e/WI--Priest-Leave-Kenosha/ KENOSHA, Wis. — A Kenosha priest is on administrative leave after an alleged inappropriate phone conversation with a girl. Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki informed parishioners in a letter Saturday that he had placed the Rev. Michael Nowak on leave and restricted him from ministry pending an investigation. Nowak is pastor of St. Therese of Lisieux (saynt teh-REHZ' of lihs-YUH') Catholic Church in Kenosha. The archbishop says the Archdiocese of Milwaukee received a report alleging an inappropriate telephone conversation between Nowak and a minor female. No physical contact was reported. The archbishop's letter says the girl's parents contacted Kenosha police, and police have started an investigation. A spokeswoman says the archdiocese also will do its own investigation. Messages left with the parish office were not immediately returned Sunday.
