A Mt. Pleasant-based Catholic priest has been put on administrative leave for inappropriate behavior related to his ministry, church officials said in a press release.
The Rev. Denis M. Heames, priest at St. Mary’s University Parish, has been placed on administrative leave “due to boundary violations related to his priestly ministry,” said Bishop Joseph R. Cistone of the Saginaw Diocese.
“Last weekend, it was brought to my attention that Father Heames has been involved in boundary violations related to his priestly conduct serious enough to require appropriate assessment and treatment,” Cistone told parishioners at St. Mary University Parish.
