Last week, it was announced that the Rev. Denis Heames, of St. Mary’s
Parish on the campus of Central Michigan University, was being placed
on administrative leave due to “boundary violations related to his
priestly ministry.”
A statement released by the Diocese of Saginaw stated: “Last weekend, it was brought to my attention that Father Heames has been involved in boundary violations related to his priestly conduct, serious enough to require appropriate assessment and treatment,” Bishop (Joseph) Cistone shared with parishioners at St. Mary University Parish… ‘It is important to assure you that these actions in no way involved minors. Nonetheless, peoples’ lives have been affected and Father Heames will need to address these matters in a comprehensive way. Consequently, this past week, I placed Father Heames on an administrative leave of absence.’”
