SANIBEL –
Parishioners at St. Isabel’s Church on Sanibel said they’re being denied permission to hold services for their former priest.
In just the past week, parishioners held services to pray for Father Christopher Senk, who is still on paid administrative leave. Senk was investigated for more than two years for allegedly financially exploiting parishioner, Marion McIntyre.
The State Attorney’s office concluded that there was not enough evidence of wrongdoing to press charges against Senk.
According to the Diocese of Venice in Florida, a timeline for a resolution of this matter will be determined by the Apostolic See in Rome.
Parishioners said only after they began prayers for Senk at church, were they told they couldn’t use church property.
