SPRING TWP., Pa. –
Just after evening mass, Tuesday evening, at St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Spring Township, members were still getting over the piercing allegations facing their priest, Father Cletus Onyegbule.
“I just wanted to cry. I was at five-thirty mass with our bishop and I just wanted to cry,” said Judy Avella-Keller.
Police allege that Onyegbule, 44,admitted to having consensual sex with an 18-year-old woman, several years ago, in the rectory of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Bethlehem Township, Northampton County.
After the young woman became pregnant, officials said Onyegbule paid for an abortion.
