A diocese based in Massachusetts, USA, has warned the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) about a suspended Filipino priest who is on trial but has been reported as missing.

Fr. Robert McManus of Worcester Diocese in Massachusetts, in a letter to CBCP president Bishop Nereo Odchimar, said he believes Rev. Lowe B. Dongor may already be in the country.

"I bring this matter to Your Excellency’s attention in case Fr. Dongor presents himself to Bishops in the archdioceses of the Philippines as a priest in good canonical standing," the letter said.

McManus said Dongor has been removed from active ministry due to charges of theft and possession of pornographic materials.

He said Dongor was about to go on trial last October 25 but disappeared from the diocese.

He said Dongor only left a note saying that he was returning "home."

"I presume that he meant the Philippines," said McManus.

Diocesan records revealed Dongor was born on Feb. 17, 1976 in Iloilo and attended Barotac Nuevo High School, graduating in 1993.
