An Indianapolis priest has been suspended after a report of sexual misconduct dating back several decades, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis said in a news release on Wednesday.
An allegation against Father Patrick Doyle was made Tuesday, Sept. 4 to a victim assistance coordinator, the release says. The Archdiocese then immediately alerted “civil authorities” and told the Archdiocesan Review Board about the allegation, the release says.
Doyle is prohibited from all public ministry while an investigation into the allegation is pending.
IndyStar has reached out to Doyle through the Archdiocese seeking comment.
Doyle has held various roles in ministry, including as a full-time instructor at Bishop Chatard High School, a priest moderator at St. Maurice parish in Napoleon, Indiana and a pastor at Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ parish in Indianapolis.
