The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has told him in a letter from its legal counsel not to have anything to do with archdiocese schools.

Catherine Fraser, the archdiocese’s chief development officer, said every dollar contributed would go directly to helping families in need.

An archdiocese spokesperson said Gomez was unavailable for comment because he was at a retreat for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

“The archdiocese has a long-standing commitment to the protection of minors and reporting the prevention of abuse,’ the Archdiocese said in a statement explaining its officials reported the priest to authorities.

The archdiocese has long held special masses and novenas — nine days of prayers — on behalf of immigrants.
