Great excitement in Styria: In the pastoral care room of Voitsberg, a priest is said to have diverted money to offer sticks for himself.
There are whirlpools in Western Styria. A minister who works in Voitsberg’s parsonage room – the editors know his name – is suspected of embezzling gifts from offering boxes. According to the parish concerned, there had been irregularities in the accounts for a number of years, which prompted a sexton to raise the alarm.
Pastor was fired
After intensive consultation, the man was recalled as provisional (provisional head of a parish), but he remains a priest without access to finances. The parish will be taken over by Martin A. Trummler, who is already in charge of 15 locations.
“Damage Repaired”
Martin Rapp, attorney for pastoral care, the “Steirerkrone” confirms that the pastor was insightful and “repaired the damage caused”: “He repaid more than was necessary.” There is talk of about 2000 euros.
