The parochial vicar of St. Christopher Roman Catholic Church in the
Town of Tonawanda has been sent back to his home country of India after
being caught endorsing checks meant for the church's outreach program,
the church's pastor told parishioners at Masses on Sunday.
The Rev. Steve Jekielek announced to the congregation that the Rev.
Suresh Yamarthy had been sent back to India to "face the consequences of
his actions."
It was the second such incident at the church, following a much
larger theft by the church's former secretary and business manager that
was discovered in 2006.
Yamarthy had been assigned to St. Christopher for three years
starting in June 2016. His last homily on the church's website was given
Oct. 29.
