BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - The Buffalo Catholic Diocese released new information about the removal of a long-time pastor from a downtown parish.

Father Second Casarotto served at St. Anthony of Padua for more than 25 years. He's been placed on administrative leave. A statement read at Mass says he's been called back to his order's provincial house and that he requests your prayers and assures his prayers as well.

The diocese says this is a personnel issue and would not comment on whether this involves a legal matter.
