The former spokesperson for the Diocese of Antigonish will return to work this fall.

Rev. Paul Abbass was asked to take leave in February after the Department of Community Servcies received a complaint in relation to his work with Talbot House – a former men’s addiction and rehabilitation facility outside Sydney.

In April, Cape Breton Regional Police said they would not press charges against the priest. They did not reveal the details of the complaint, other than to say it was in his capacity as the centre’s executive director.
