FITCHBURG — A grand jury Friday indicted a former Fitchburg priest on charges that he stole from his parish and kept images of child pornography on his computers.
The Rev. Lowe Dongor, formerly assigned to St. Joseph Church on Woodland Street, is believed to have fled to his native Philippines.
“The last I knew was that he was gone in the wind and that we had a warrant out for his arrest,” said Timothy J. Connolly, spokesman for District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.
Bishop Robert McManus of the Diocese of Worcester removed Dongor from office when the accusations surfaced and has requested the Vatican defrock Dongor.
