TOLEDO — Bishop Daniel E. Thomas Friday placed Rev. David A. Reinhart on administrative leave following allegations of inappropriate intimate relationships with adult women in violation of the diocesan Code of Pastoral Conduct (§4.2).

While on administrative leave he is not permitted to exercise public ministry, administer any of the Sacraments, wear clerical attire or present himself publicly as a priest pending the outcome of an investigation. Thomas has accepted the resignation of Reinhart as pastor of both Saint John the Evangelist Parish, Delphos, and Saint John the Baptist Parish, Landeck, where he has served since July 2013.
