Fargo Priest Reassigned To Convent

An internal investigation has cleared a Fargo Catholic Diocese priest who had been under scrutiny for his alleged behavior with children.

FARGO, ND — Father Thomas Feltman, recently cleared after an internal investigation for alleged behavior with children, has been assigned to a Fargo convent.

Spokesman Paul Braun says Father Feltman “is a priest in good standing”.

He has been re-assigned as chaplain at the Sacred Heart Convent in Fargo.

Feltman was pastor at churched in Wyndmere and Milnor when he was placed on leave last May.

No charges were filed after a criminal investigation found that while Feltman inappropriately touched girls, there was no evidence it was done for sexual reasons.

Fr. Troy Simonson is the new pastor at Feltman’s former churches effective January 28.
