DETROIT — The Archdiocese of Detroit has restricted a former priest at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Dearborn from public ministry because of an allegation against him of sexual misconduct with a minor.
The Rev. Louis Grandpre, 79, served at St. Alphonsus, 7469 Calhoun, as a weekend assistant in 1965 and ’66, according to biographical information released by the archdiocese Tuesday.
The archdiocese said that the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office was notified, and the “Archdiocesan Review Board has deemed the allegation substantive.” As of Wednesday morning, there was no case record for Grandpre on the Wayne County Circuit Court website. Felony cases still in the county’s district courts also are on the site.
The archdiocese said the alleged incident happened in his early years as a priest. It gave no additional information about the allegation.
