(Lander, Wyo.) – Wyoming Catholic College’s Chaplain Father Stuart MacDonald has been fired, effective Nov. 19, apparently for “unacceptable” behavior. The Lander Police Department said today an investigation was launched this month after allegations were lodged against the Chaplain.
“His dismissal is subsequent to an internal investigation by the College which revealed Reverend MacDonald’s improper conduct and language with the College’s students and a pattern of behavior unacceptable as a Catholic college chaplain,” states a news release from the college. The release was dated Nov. 19, though it was not received until Nov. 26.
When contacted by County10.com on Monday, WCC President Father Robert Cook said he had no additional comment on the situation. He said the press release speaks for itself.
“We currently have an open investigation into allegations of misconduct,” Lander Police Chief Jim Carey said Tuesday morning.
