Diocese statement to St. Aloysius Parish about the Rev. Matthew Riedlinger
p. 1
This statement from Trenton Bishop David M. O'Connell was read aloud at St. Aloysius Church in Jackson during weekend Masses Sept. 21 and Sept. 22. O'Connell had refused for more than a year to tell the parish why the Rev. Matthew Riedlinger was removed from ministry. Parishioners were notified only after The Star-Ledger informed diocese officials a story on Riedlinger -- and the diocese's silence -- was in progress.
