	Missing Money Investigated, Pastor Removed from Flossmoor Catholic Church By Margaret Ramirez Chicago Tribune December 12, 2007 https://www.chicagotribune.com/services/site/registration/access-registered.intercept Complaints of missing money and financial mismanagement at Infant Jesus of Prague Roman Catholic Church in Flossmoor have led to the pastor's temporary removal, a state's attorney's investigation and an archdiocese audit of church funds. The first sign of trouble came two years ago when more than $1,000 in cash was missing from Sunday collections. More questions arose after the pastor, Rev. William E. Killeen, installed a wet bar in the rectory and spent $25,000 on new furniture without consulting the church finance council. In November, the church's business manager was suspended, Chicago archdiocese officials said. In a letter read during masses Sunday, Cardinal Francis George said the archdiocese was undertaking an audit of parish funds and asking Killeen, 58, to step back from his responsibilities as pastor.
