The Rev. Paul Moudry has resigned as pastor of the Church of St. Margaret Mary in Golden Valley, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis said Tuesday.
Moudry has been on a voluntary leave of absence from ministry since November 2013 while officials investigated a “prior misconduct which occurred many years ago” with adults in non-illegal activities.
In a statement, the archdiocese said Archbishop John Nienstedt accepted Moudry’s offer to resign as pastor of St. Margaret Mary.
Moudry will continue his voluntary leave of absence, the archdiocese added, noting that Moudry has cooperated in the misconduct inquiry and made “appropriate” disclosure to parishioners and trustees.
An attorney for Moudry last fall acknowledged “two anonymous claims of misconduct” in an October 2013 letter to MPR News.
