CORPUS CHRISTI – A former pastor risks losing status as member of the Catholic clergy after two allegations surfaced this year of inappropriate conduct, a Corpus Christi Diocese statement said.
No criminal investigations were pursued after the complaints were submitted in June to Nueces and San Patricio County district attorney offices, said Marty Wind, the diocese’s Director of Communications.
“That’s not going to stop the church from investigating,” he said earlier this year.
Monsignor Michael Heras, former pastor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles Church, remains the subject of an internal church investigation prompted by a complaint submitted to the diocese in June, Wind said. He was placed on leave and later resigned.
