VIRGINIA -- A former Louisa County priest is to be sentenced today in Richmond federal court for fraud and money-laundering convictions.

Rodney L. Rodis, 51, is alleged to have stolen $515,000 in donations from two churches in Louisa.

Parishioners also knew nothing about his secret life as a family man 50 miles away in Fredericksburg.

Rodis entered guilty pleas last October to one count of fraud and one of money laundering. He has admitted stealing at least $400,000 since 2002. The money was used to support his family and some was wired to a bank in his native Philippines where relatives used it to purchase real estate.
