A priest is “on retreat” after being involved in an inappropriate relationship with an adult, Archdiocese of Louisville officials said.
The Rev. Shayne Duvall, pastor at St. Raphael Parish, “will be away for a couple of weeks to be on retreat” for “his previous involvement” in the relationship, spokeswoman Cecelia Price said in an email to Courier Journal reporter on Friday.
Price didn’t say with whom Duvall had a relationship but said it had ended.
The Rev. Jeff Shooner, vicar for priests for the archdiocese, made the announcement to St. Raphael parishioners last weekend, the email said.
“Father Shayne has fully cooperated with Archbishop (Joseph) Kurtz in addressing this situation over the past months,” Price said.
