There were conditions. "In his capacity as pastor, Rev. P. Martin Donnelly made an agreement with Chet Warren that (he) would only go to the Eucharistic Chapel at certain times and under certain circumstances."
"Defendant Warren has breached the agreement," the Diocese alleges.
According to SNAP activist Claudia Vercellotti, parishioners, among them parents, became alarmed after learning that Warren visited the chapel, allegedly at hours of his choosing and in at least some cases wearing his clerical garb. Particularly upsetting to the parents, Vercellotti said, was the fact that the chapel is close to areas of the church frequented by children.

The parents took their complaints to the Diocese, and a few months later, Vercellotti said, the church filed suit in municipal court.
The suit alleges that he is in breach of his contract with the church and asks that Warren pay monetary damages and "be required to keep and abide by his agreement with the pastor, or be excluded from the Eucharistic Chapel at Blessed Sacrament Church and the remainder of its campus." Moreover, the suit charges Warren with trespass and for that, the Diocese contends, "Defendant Warren should be prohibited from entering the Eucharistic Chapel within Blessed Sacrament Church because of his past unprivileged access there."
