Local Priest Resigns as Pastor

The Rev. Vincent Heier has resigned as pastor of All Saints Catholic Church in University City and was "relieved of his duties" as director of the archdiocese's Office of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, according to a statement from the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

Heier led the archdiocese's interfaith office for about 25 years. Earlier this month, he was at the center of a controversy surrounding two Catholic women who were ordained in a St. Louis synagogue as priests of a group called Roman Catholic Womenpriests...

The archdiocese said in a statement that Heier had resigned from All Saints "in order to devote his complete attention to personal matters."
Please keep Fr. Heier in your prayers.
