No update in investigation of parish finances

Posted

Following the probe into financial irregularities detected at St. Teresa of Calcutta parish by the Archdiocese of New York back in the summer, there are no current updates into the investigation of former pastor Father William Damroth.

Damroth had served as the pastor of the local Newburgh parish for the past seven years before being transferred to Port Jervis to Immaculate Conception Parish. Damroth was set to begin as the new pastor on July 1. Since his leave of absence, Port Jervis has continued on with a new administrator but deferred any questions regarding the investigation to the archdiocese.

The archdiocese was contacted for a comment on the investigation but did not have any to make and there have been no updates at this time into the investigation. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office was also contacted but also did not have any comments to make at this time as representatives are not allowed to comment within their policy.
