The Diocese of Grand Rapids was notified by the Vatican that father Charles Antekeier can no longer present himself as a priest.

The 79-year-old last served at a church in Grand Rapids and has been retired for 15 years.

A sex abuse victim contacted the Diocese regarding the incidents in the mid-80's.
