NORTHAMPTON — A former parish priest with the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Granby has settled allegations he stole more than $100,000 from the church and has been sentenced to two years probation and ordered to repay $12,000.

Tomasz Gorny also agreed to voluntary laicization, a lengthy process through which he will relinquish the priesthood, according to Assistant Northwestern District Attorney Matt Russo, who prosecuted the case. He also must continue to stay away from the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.

Gorny, 43, was charged in June with larceny over $1,200 following a four-year investigation by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield. He entered a new plea in September in Eastern Hampshire District Court, and was recently sentenced by Judge Bruce Melikian, Russo said.

According to prosecutors, Gorny used church funds to buy himself new clothes, wine and video games, charging these expenses to credit cards that the diocese had to pay. This year, after church officials determined the thefts exceeded $100,000, the diocese informed Granby Police.

Police said their investigation found that Gorny had also taken property that belonged to the diocese, including power tools, food and cellphones. Hundreds of items that were reportedly purchased by Gorny were recovered from a storage unit in Easthampton in April. The diocese recovered many of these items, Russo said, and so was able to recover some of the value of the thefts.

Officials from the diocese were consulted throughout the legal process, Russo said, with their primary concerns being to get the money back and to remove Gorny from the priesthood. Russo said it was his understanding that Gorny has already repaid the $12,000 required by the court.

Gorny was represented by Springfield attorney John Dalsey.

Originally from Poland, Gorny moved to America to join a seminary in Michigan and was ordained as a priest in 2010 by the Springfield Diocese. He was originally assigned as an assistant priest to Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Greenfield. He also served as chaplain for the Greenfield Fire Department, blessing the groundbreaking of the city’s new fire station at 41 Main St. that remains under construction.

Russo said he believed Gorny was a dual citizen of Poland and U.S., but aside from being required to surrender all his passports while awaiting trial, his residency status had no impact on his sentence. Conditions of probation are that he check in regularly with his probation officer and not be charged with any other crime.
