Church at centre of fraud case gets $380,000 settlement

[guest]

Blessed Sacrament Church was awarded an insurance settlement of more than $379,000 after the Archdiocese of Ottawa made a claim for the money police allege was stolen by the former parish priest. Rob Lewis, a member of the parish finance council, said at the end of a mass on Sunday that the settlement helps close a dark chapter of turmoil, embarrassment and anger that began when the former pastor, Rev. Joseph Leclair, was charged with fraud, theft, money laundering and breach of trust in July 2012.
