FAIRBANKS—The priest assigned to Sacred Heart Cathedral has been placed on administrative leave amid allegations of computer misconduct on the Internet, the Diocese of Fairbanks announced Friday evening.
The actions of Rev. Clint Landry, ordained as a priest three years ago, are being investigated by the FBI, according to Diocesan spokesman Robert Hannon.
Landry, 57, has not been charged with a crime.
Sacred Heart is the largest Catholic congregation in Fairbanks, with about 1,000 people attending Sunday services.
Landry, who presided at services at the church, is the parochial vicar assigned to Sacred Heart and is under the direction of Archbishop Roger L. Schwietz, the apostolic administrator overseeing the Catholic Diocese of Fairbanks. The diocese is awaiting the appointment of a bishop to replace Bishop Donald Kettler, who was reassigned to Minnesota last year by Pope Francis.
