A local pastor is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from Saint Rose Catholic Church.

CBS 58 News is not naming him because police have not charged him yet.

According to investigators, he admitted to police he stole money and didn't pay any of it back.

The pastor is also accused of taking advances and not paying that money back either.

In a new statement tonight, The Archdiocese says they are cooperating with the investigation. The pastor resigned from Saint Rose last year and was transferred to a church in Menomonee Falls.
