A Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City has been removed from ministry pending an investigation of an alleged sexual abuse of a minor.
The announcement was posted on the archdiocese’s website stating the removal of Rev. James Mickus who serves as pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Chandler and Saint Louis Catholic Church in Stroud.
We’re told Archbishop Paul Coakley informed parishioners in person Sunday morning.
According to the statement, the allegation does not involve Mickus’s current parishes and is under review by the archdiocesan Review Board. The board was created in 2002 under the “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People” to review allegations of abuse and advise the archbishop.
