A NSW Catholic priest has been arrested over an alleged historical child sexual assault.

The 49-year-old priest and police chaplain has been charged with the aggravated sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl between September 2002 and January 2003.

He was arrested in Narrandera about 8.30am on Wednesday and faced Wagga Wagga Local Court, where he was remanded in custody.

The priest will face the same court on Thursday and a process is under way to suspend him from police chaplain duties.
