Father Thomas Belczak, a former deacon at Sacred Heart Parish in Dearborn, has been ordered to step aside as pastor of St. Kenneth Parish in Plymouth.
Belczak will step aside as a result of an investigation of alleged improper use of funds at the Plymouth parish, the Archdiocese of Detroit stated in a press release.
The 60-year-old pastor will not be permitted to visit the parish in any capacity. Father Robert Blondell, a senior priest of the Detroit archdiocese, has been named as administrator of St. Kenneth Parish.
