The priest of the St. Victoria Catholic Church apologized to parishioners Sunday after their music director resigned because he’s gay.
On Friday, music director Jamie Manzi-Moore stepped down from his 18-year role with the church, after marrying long time partner last week.
When an anonymous tip came into the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis regarding Manzi-Moore’s recent marriage to partner Garrett Manzi, Archbishop John Nienstedt asked Manzi-Moore to resign.
“He is simply doing what he and his role is called to do,” Father Bob White told parishioners.
