Nearly three years ago, the Buffalo Diocese abruptly removed the Rev. Dennis A. Fronczak as pastor of Our Lady of Pompeii Church in Lancaster.
Nobody at the parish was told why.
A diocese representative announced Fronczak’s departure at Masses at the church in October 2015, recalled Dick Wagner, 80, a long-time parishioner.
“He told us Father Dennis was going on administrative leave for an undetermined time. He didn’t say why,” Wagner said. “There’s been this dark cloud hanging over Father Dennis’s head ever since that day…I don’t think it’s fair. Either tell us that he is guilty of something, or not guilty, but don’t just leave the man hanging.”
