Bishop defrocks longtime priest
Gary, Indiana -- For the first time in Northwest Indiana history, a Roman Catholic priest has been removed from duties following admission that he sexually molested a minor more than 30 years ago.
Monsignor Don Grass, who has been pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church in Crown Point since 1983, admitted that he committed the abuse which occurred while he was an associate pastor at Holy Angels Cathedral in Gary in the late 1960s, according to Bishop Dale Melczek.
Following an investigation of the allegations and conversations with the victim and Grass, Melczek removed Grass late last week from his parish responsibilities.
