Montville — State police in Montville have confirmed the Rev. Dennis Carey, the former pastor of St. Paul in Chains Church in Waterford, was arrested and charged yesterday with possession of child pornography.
Carey resigned on Friday after the diocese had learned a day earlier that state police were investigating him.
On Sunday the Rev. Joseph Whittel, of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Quaker Hill, led services at St. Paul, located on Rope Ferry Road. He read a letter from Bishop Michael R. Cote, who told parishioners that Carey resigned to “focus his energies on addressing any issues associated with the investigation.”
