WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) — A Wausau Priest resigned unexpectedly on Sunday after allegations that he had inappropriate contact with a minor came to light.
WAOW TV reports that Reverend Mark Pierce is no longer with the Eastside Parishes, which include St. Michaels and the Church of the Resurrection.
The announcement came Sunday in the form of a statement read during services from Bishop William Callahan, who confirmed that the incident in question occurred several years ago but had come to light in recent weeks.
Rev. Pierce also issued a statement to his now-former Congregation, admitting that he had caused harm to someone through behavior that was “inappropriate for a priest.”
