PORTLAND, Maine –
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland has announced temporary assignments for priests to serve in the place of a Fort Kent priest on leave while allegations against him are investigated.
Rev. James L. Nadeau, 51, of St. John Vianney Parish in Fort Kent, went on voluntary leave on Tuesday, said Sue Bernard, communications director for the diocese. She did not say what the allegations were.
Retired members of the clergy in Aroostook County will serve the parish during Holy Week and Easter. Rev. Robert Vaillancourt, 58, will serve as temporary administrator for the parish at the end of next week, Bernard said.
