EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WWLP) - An East Longmeadow priest is calling the Springfield Diocese deceptive and deceitful.

Father James Scahill reacted to the announced closings of more than a dozen churches in western Massachusetts by the end of the year. He's particularly upset about the closing of the Immaculate Conception parish in Indian Orchard.

Father Scahill told 22News, his friend Father Darius Wudarski had already dealt with 2 other church closings prior to serving at Immaculate Conception. Scahill says Wudarski had been assured by the Diocese that Immaculate Conception wouldn't close.

The parish even moved forward with expensive renovations that allegedly had been approved.
