A Perth priest who was suspended over historic abuse allegations has said goodbye to his congregation and thanked them for their support.

Father Tom Shields was ordered to stand down earlier this summer after a serious complaint was made against him.

The Catholic Church suspended him from his duties while police were called to investigate.

Now he has been allowed to return to work, but has been told not to go back to his old parish.
