Moodus, Conn. (WTNH) – State Police have launched a criminal investigation involving a church in Moodus.

Investigators aren’t saying specifically what they’re looking for but say the investigation involving Saint Bridget Church started in December.

Reverend Gregoire Fluet’s name is on the sign but he’s not at his parish. He’s on a leave of absence while state police investigate.

A spokesperson for the Diocese of Norwich tells News 8 the investigation began in December when concerns were brought up by one parishioner at St. Bridget of Kildare Church in Moodus. Father Gregoire Fluet who oversees all finances in the parish stepped aside to allow for the investigation by State Police.
