The Rev. Peter Laird resigned Thursday as vicar general and moderator of the curia for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
He was appointed to the position, which serves as an assistant to Archbishop John Nienstedt in administration of the archdiocese, in 2009. His resignation takes place immediately.
The Rev. Charles Lachowitzer, who is serving as pastor of the Church of St. John Neumann in Eagan, was named to replace Laird, but he won’t assume the post until his current position is filled. In the meantime, the auxiliary bishop, the Rev. Lee Piche, who preceded Laird in the job, will oversee it.
