	Catholic Church Excommunicates 2 Mesa Priests By Lawn Griffiths East Valley Tribune December 15, 2008 http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/132532 ARIZONA — Two Valley Catholic priests, Monsignor Dale Fushek and the Rev. Mark Dippre, have been excommunicated by Bishop Thomas Olmsted for defying his order to not engage in public ministry, an activity that was deemed out of accord with the Roman Catholic Church. Thirteen months ago, the priests, who had served together in the 1990s at St. Timothy's Catholic Community in Mesa, founded the nondenominational Praise and Worship Center, which meets Sundays at the Fiesta Fountains Reception Center, 1316 S. Longmore, Mesa. Fushek was put on paid leave of absence in late 2005 after he was indicted on 10 misdemeanors related to sexual misconduct across almost a decade while he led the Life Teen program.
