ANDREWS- An Andrews priest is under the microscope and it all revolves around financial irregularities. The problems came to light after an audit was done in the parish.
Father Joey Faylona was the Pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Andrews but now he’s under the microscope. The parish was in the process of changing pastors and they did a financial audit for the parish.
This allows the outgoing pastor to review his overall performance in the parish during his tenure and gives the incoming pastor an in-depth look at the pastoral and financial state of the parish to which he is being assigned.
The audit by the Diocese turned up some financial irregularities. That’s according to a letter that was sent to NewsWest 9 by the Bishop of the Diocese of San Angelo. The diocese found unauthorized financial advances in parish funds for personal expenses.
