"I failed to try to remember my ministry and my commitment as a priest, and for that I can't apologize adequate. I am heartbroken to know that my actions have triggered pain to so quite a few persons. From the bottom of my heart, I apologize and ask for forgiveness. I strategy on attempting to make amends by looking for spiritual healing and rededicating myself to God's service."

According to the statement, Curran stated the partnership was an "isolated instance."
