Randall Kozlowski, the former business manager of Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church in Cheektowaga, pleaded guilty Friday to charges he stole almost $380,000 from the church to pay off gambling debts.

Jailed since his Jan. 31 arrest, Kozklowski, 49, of Fordham Avenue, was told by State Supreme Court Justice John L. Michalski that he could face probation or up to 15 years in prison when sentenced June 12.

Erie County District Attorney Frank J. Clark said a routine diocesan audit uncovered the thefts, which occurred from November 1998 until last April.

John C. Doscher, head of the district attorney's White Collar Crime Bureau, said Kozlowski signed a confession of judgment, making him liable for the full repayment in return for his plea to second-degree grand larceny.
