The Rev. Michael Madden, the man who was responsible for hiring the private investigator that revealed financial improprieties by the church’s pastor, the Rev. Michael Jude Fay, announced Tuesday that he is leaving St. John Parish and the priesthood. He gave his reasons, including excessive stress and needing time for healing, and some thoughts about the recent events at St. John Parish during several exclusive interviews with The Darien Times.

Father Fay, former pastor, breaks his silenc********e
Father Fay has not commented publicly or disclosed his whereabouts since he resigned as pastor in May. In a Wednesday phone interview, the former pastor told The Darien Times that despite the advice of his lawyers, he wanted to publicly comment in anticipation of The Darien Times story about the Rev. Michael Madden’s decision to leave St. John Parish and the priesthood.

The world doesn’t end…that is what.

Madden met his breaking point…that is a point any one of us is at …at any given moment…and most of the time…don’t even know it.

Madden will continue living and loving with the Grace of God…with or without a Roman collar.
