CROOKSTON, MN (WDAZ-TV) – Parishioners say Father Roger Grundhaus wasn’t at services Tuesday morning. Some thought he was out of town. Turns out he is home, but not saying a word to the media.
Roger Grundhaus’ garage door was open, so WDAZ knocked on his front door.
As WDAZ was packing up to leave the neighborhood, Grundhaus shut his garage door and went back inside.
Neighbors say the reverend is a nice man and pillar of the community. They want the Bishop to respond to the allegations but he refused to go on camera.
But the diocese did release a statement, denying Bishop Michael Hoeppner “forced, coerced or encouraged Mr. Vasek to not pursue his allegations.”
It also states that Grundhaus retired in 2010, and is suspended from active ministry.
