CALEDONIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. A west Michigan priest has been removed from his post over sexual misconduct allegations. Father David LeBlanc is the fourth priest connected to a Roman Catholic church in Kent County to have been stripped of his duties in the past five years. Parishioners in Caledonia Township were sent letters over the weekend announcing LeBlanc's removal. He acknowledged sexually abusing a preteen boy in Muskegon in 1971. Back in 2002, three other priests with ties to Holy Family parish were removed from the active ministry in sexual misconduct cases. The parish will hold a meeting tonight with the Reverend Thomas Page -- the associate vicar for priests in the Grand Rapids Diocese. ___ Information from: help from Dan Bewley/WOOD-TV, [|http://www.woodtv.com] Information from: help from Amy Fox/WZZM-TV, [|http://www.wzzm13.com] //Copyright 2007 The Associated Press.
