Father Peter Kennedy was last month dismissed from his role at St Mary's in South Brisbane for refusing to adhere to the practices and teachings of the Catholic Church.
Canon lawyer and the Archdiocese of Brisbane Chancellor Father Adrian Farrelly says the mediation process involving former High Court judge Ian Callinan was due to start on Wednesday.
Father Farrelly says Father Kennedy has refused to hand over the Church's keys, or allow the parish's new administrator to take on his position.
