Maine

Accused priest sent back to Massachusetts

MACHIAS -- A Roman Catholic priest and former prison chaplain accused of ethical violations has been removed from a parish in Maine and told to return to his home diocese in Worcester, church officials said yesterday. The alleged ethical violations against the Rev. Michael Sheridan stem from his ministry work at the Washington County jail, according to the Diocese of Portland. Sheridan, who was administrator of Holy Name Parish in Machias and St. Michael Mission in Cherryfield, had planned to return to Worcester this summer, said Portland diocese spokeswoman Sue Bernard. Jail officials reported the allegations last weekend. Bernard said the diocese would not elaborate on the nature of the alleged ethical violations because it is a personnel matter. (AP)
