A priest at St. Ignatius Loyola Roman Catholic Church in Whitfield was removed from his assignment after acknowledging he had an inappropriate relationship with a woman, according to the Diocese of Allentown.
Diocese officials said the relationship between the Rev. Cletus Onyegbule, 44, and the woman began when she was 18 years old.
Bishop John O. Barres announced the dismissal to the parish Saturday during the 5:30 p.m. Mass.
Onyegbule served as an assistant pastor at St. Ignatius since March 2009. He was ordained in 2002 and served at St. Ambrose Church in Schuylkill Haven and Our Lady at Perpetual Help Church in Bethlehem Township before his assignment at St. Ignatius.
