An activist Chicago priest has pledged to return to some form of parish ministry while he remains under investigation by the archdiocese for three different allegations of sexual abuse.
"Over the next days, I will seek other ways and opportunities to minister in the Auburn Gresham community and continue outreach while this process seemingly drags on," said a March 22 letter from Fr. Michael Pfleger to his parish of St. Sabina's, and to other community leaders.
St. Sabina - also known as St. Sabina Faith Community - is located in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago.
"I will let you know soon where and how I'll be doing this," Pfleger added in his letter. He told the Chicago Sun Times that he would be "working with community organizations," but did not elaborate further.
