Toronto Archdiocese points out case does not involve ‘illegal behaviour’

A Gozitan priest has been removed from his parish in Canada over “inappropriate behaviour”, the Archdiocese of Toronto has confirmed.

Fr Joseph Grima, of Blessed Frederic Ozanam Parish in Markham, was found to have been involved in “boundary violation and behaviour inconsistent with the vows of a Catholic priest”.

No details have been divulged about his situation but the Toronto Archdiocese said he had not done anything illegal.

The decision was announced on August 22 but was only reported several weeks later.
