The future of a Twin Cities priest who resigned from his parish over the summer apparently is up in the air after a plan to send him to graduate school was scuttled.
Officials at the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis have confirmed that the Rev. Joseph Gallatin will not be attending Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
“After we published in the Catholic Spirit Father Gallatin’s assignment to pursue his studies at Catholic University, it is our understanding that a victims’ group contacted the university to oppose Father Gallatin’s attendance,” Auxiliary Bishop Andrew Cozzens said Wednesday.
“In consultation with Father Gallatin, we agreed this would not be a good situation for all involved, and he voluntarily withdrew his application. Full disclosure was made to Catholic University at the time of his application.
“At this time, no decision has been made about Father Gallatin’s assignment.”
