Ottawa: Gambling addicted priest prompts audit of Ottawa Catholic church

18 April 2011

OTTAWA -- An audit will be carried out on a Catholic Parish in Ottawa after allegations the priest was struggling with a gambling addiction, CBC News reported.

The priest had allegedly incurred big credit card bills of close to $500,000, CBC News said.

Fr Joe LeClair insisted he had not spent any church money on his gambling in a speech he gave to his parishioners, according to CBC News.

Fr LeClair has been honest about suffering from depression and is a rousing orator and popular figure with his congregation, the report explained.
