The Rev. Joseph Maurizio, pastor of Our Lady Queen of Angels Parish in Central City, has been placed on leave of duties, according to a press release from the Most Rev. Mark Bartchak, bishop of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown.

Federal agents searched the Our Lady Queen of Angels rectory on Friday. Maurizio later informed the bishop about the search. Details about the nature of the search are scarce. Several residents reported seeing Department of Homeland Security agents at the church. A media request filed with the department has not been returned.
