A priest who once led the Kateri Catholic School System in Oregon has been placed on administrative leave following allegations of “inappropriate intimate relationships with adult women,” the Diocese of Toledo announced Sunday.

The Rev. David A. Reinhart, who most recently served as pastor of St. John the Evangelist parish in Delphos and St. John the Baptist parish in Landeck, will not be permitted to exercise public ministry, administer any of the sacraments, wear clerical attire, or present himself publicly as a priest pending the outcome of the investigation.

The Most Rev. Daniel Thomas, who was installed as bishop of the Toledo Catholic Diocese last month, accepted Father Reinhart’s resignation from the two parishes.

Delphos, about 85 miles southwest of Toledo, is located in Allen and Van Wert counties. Landeck is in Allen County, southwest of Delphos.

According to a news release from the diocese, an announcement regarding Father Reinhart’s administrative leave and resignation was made at both parishes over the weekend. Bishop Thomas or his representative was present at the weekend Masses at both parishes to make the announcement and preach.

Through Diocesan spokesman Sally Oberski, Bishop Thomas declined a request for an interview. According to the Delphos St. John Web site, the new bishop just visited the parish Nov. 4.

In 2008, Father Reinhart,46, was serving as president of Cardinal Stritch High School when he was named president of the newly created Kateri School System, which included Cardinal Stritch.

In 2010, he was released to the Archdiocese of Military Services to serve as an active duty chaplain in the U.S. Air Force. At that time, he was president of Kateri and pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish in Bono, Ohio.

Information provided by the Diocesan spokesman said that Father Reinhart’s home is Bucyrus; that he received a bachelor of science degree from Ohio State University, master of arts and master of divinity from the Saint Meinrad Seminary, Saint Meinrad, Ind. He was ordained in July, 1998, at Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral by then-Bishop James R. Hoffman.

His assignments and appointments include:
