MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Archdiocese of Miami said one of their priests has fathered a child.
Monsignor Chanel Jeanty, who serves as pastor at Saint James Catholic Church in North Miami, learned last month that he has a child.
The archdiocese said the child was conceived in a relationship that ended over a year ago.
Jeanty has since reached out to the mother and plans to contribute to the support of the child.
The archdiocese said in a statement Jeanty will continue to serve and seek forgiveness from his parishioners.
Catholic priests take vows of chastity and as such are not permitted to get married or have children.
