CWN Editor's Note: Father Lawrence Kozak, a priest of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, has been arrested and charged with the theft of over $40,000 of parish funds for personal expenses, principally cell phone games.
The priest was placed on leave in 2022 after a parish accountant found “an astronomical amount of Apple transactions” on the parish credit card.
Father Kozak, 51, was ordained to the priesthood in 2004.
