New Haven, Conn. — A former Darien priest, accused of spending more than $1 million of church money, has pleaded guilty to fraud charges.

The Rev. Michael Jude Fay, the former pastor of St. John Roman Catholic Church, made the plea in New Haven federal court on Wednesday, NBC 30 News reported.

Fay is expected to be sentenced in December.

Investigators said Fay set up secret bank accounts to hide church money that he used for limo rides, hotel stays, jewelry, clothing and a

condominium.
