LANCASTER — The case of a Roman Catholic priest removed from his parish last week by the bishop is under investigation by the office of Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.
Paul Jarvey, a spokesman for Mr. Early, said diocesan officials referred the matter to the district attorney last week.
Rev. Edward P. Lettic was placed on administrative leave because of what Bishop Robert J. McManus has described as a credible allegation of misconduct. Rev. Lettic has been pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish in Lancaster since 1993. The allegation is about sexual misconduct from 40 years ago. The allegation is also being investigated by the Diocesan Review Committee.
