Altamonte Springs, FL (AP) -- The Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando is seeking restitution from a former church employee who told police he stole thousands of dollars from church coffers.



Police say the former employee admitted to stealing 18-thousand dollars from last year's fall festival at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Altamonte Springs. A police spokesman says church officials told them more than six hundred thousand dollars was taken from money the congregation donated.

A church administrator reported the theft Friday. A spokeswoman for the Orlando diocese says reviews found that the church complies with all diocesan accounting procedures.
