A retired priest has been charged with historical sex offences after a two-year investigation into alleged sex assaults on a boy in Sydney's west.

The 73-year-old was charged with three counts of aggravated indecency after he allegedly sexually assaulted the boy between 1984 and 1991 while working at a church in St Mary's.

Detectives from the Manning/Great Lakes region began investigating after receiving information from a local man in 2012.

After speaking to the priest on Friday they laid charges.

He was granted conditional bail to appear in Tweed Heads Local Court on March 24.
