A priest of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas, who was arrested in May on suspicion of stealing $160,000 from his former parish has pleaded guilty to his crime and paid restitution.
Father Richard Storey, formerly of Curé of Ars Catholic Church in Leawood, will be sentenced in January.
The archdiocese said in a statement that Father Storey paid $159,362.92 to his former parish and that it would begin a canonical investigation into the theft, as well as an allegation involving an adult victim.
