The Allentown Catholic Diocese has removed a Berks County priest for having an inappropriate relationship with an 18-year-old woman.

Rev. Cletus Onyegbule, 44, was dismissed from his post at St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Sinking Spring, where he’d been assistant pastor since 2009.

Onyegbule was ordained in 2002. He served at St. Ambrose Church in Schuylkill Haven and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Bethlehem Township before his assignment to Sinking Spring.

Bishop John O. Barres announced his removal to the parish at the Saturday evening mass.
