	Priest Fired after Sexual Misconduct Incident By Emily Setzer Sonoma News [California] May 25, 2006 http://www.sonomanews.com/articles/2006/05/26/news/news01.txt Parishioners at St. Francis Solano Catholic Church were surprised and shocked Sunday when they heard the Rev. Xavier Ochoa had admitted to a single incident of sexual misconduct with a boy. The Rev. Michael Kelly read a letter from Bishop Daniel Walsh to the parishioners, stating that Ochoa, 67, had been removed from priestly duties after voluntarily informing the bishop of the incident. Following diocesan policy, the diocese removed Ochoa from his priestly duties as parochial vicar and from his canonical faculties and told civil authorities.
