Father Joe LeClair, here inside Blessed Sacrament Church in Ottawa in 2009, has been missed and is being welcomed back by his former parishioners.
OTTAWA — A beloved Ottawa priest who stole more than $130,000 from Sunday collections and church accounts is being welcomed back by his former parishioners after his release from jail.
Father Joseph LeClair had been sentenced to a year in jail for a fraud that spanned five years. About $1.16-million had been deposited into LeClair’s personal account, including roughly $400,000 that could not be explained.
“He did the crime, he paid the time, and I think he should probably still have quite a large following,” Blessed Sacrament parishioner Frank Licari said Tuesday. “There’s never a Sunday where somebody doesn’t ask me or my daughter Joanne about him.”
Joanne Licari said that although years have passed since LeClair left Blessed Sacrament, parishioners continue to miss him and hope he can return as their priest.
Parishioners have also realized, in LeClair’s absence, what a difference he made to the parish, Ms. Licari said.
“People often say, ‘Out of sight, out of say out of mind,’ but it’s the opposite,” Ms. Licari said. “It’s almost a continual reminder something is missing.”
LeClair was granted a temporary absence by the Ontario Parole Board beginning on Nov. 9 and ending Tuesday.
It means LeClair was released from jail nine days early: He would have been released Tuesday after serving two-thirds of his sentence.
“You present as a man remorseful for your actions and the hurt you have caused those close to you,” the parole board said.
LeClair pleaded guilty on Jan. 20 to theft and fraud charges. He had initially proclaimed his innocence after the Ottawa Citizen first raised concerns about financial irregularities at the church in early 2011.
Those irregularities were confirmed by a Deloitte & Touche audit that found $1.16-million had been deposited into LeClair’s personal account between January 2006 and December 2010 and that $769,000 of that was his salary, legitimate stipends and gifts from parishioners or casino winnings.
Roughly $400,000 of the $1.16-million deposited into LeClair’s personal account could not be explained. For the purposes of a plea deal, the Crown accepted that LeClair defrauded Blessed Sacrament of $130,000.
The Ottawa Archdiocese received a $379,000 insurance settlement for money that was misappropriated from Blessed Sacrament during the last five years of LeClair’s tenure as parish priest.
Mr. Licari said he believes the situation forced LeClair to get the help he needed for addictions.

A Charismatic Pathological Sociopath and Liar is returned a position of Trust
by a Church that expects the community to Trust Us in a "Just Us" unJust Society
where often the worst Criminals seek to install themselves with Absolute Power
and the Authority of God.
The Ottawa Citizen is to be commended on bringing this story to the Public's
attention.
Recently the Principle of a Roman Catholic School in Ottawa committed Perjury to
assist the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa in terminating, a child's
relationship with his father, because the Ottawa Police charged the Mother had
been charged with threatening to kill the father and assaulting him some 55
times.
If you are a Parent in Ottawa, be advised that the Roman Catholic School Board
now has NO problem with Catholic School Principles, appearing in court to assist
a violent mother end a child's relationship with the child's father and then
deny under oath that he ever made a complaint about the father to the Ottawa
Police.
That's OK with the Ottawa Police, you see, first 3 Police Officers all
Fabricated Evidence Cst. Van T. Ngyen #952, Cst. Samuel W. Smith # 880 and worst
of all, Detective Van Der Zander #1639, ALL Fabricated Evidence NOT to charge
the mother, to remove children from the care of a Male Victim of Domestic
Violence.
To Protect our Corrupt Child Abusing Ottawa Police, CAS Lawyer Marguerite Isobel
Lewis, Fabricated Evidence in Court that the Father admitted to a host of
criminal allegations, and that the Mother's admissions of assaulting a child was
not an admission. Ottawa Police Sgt. John Gibbons dropped that investigation
upon a call from another Corrupt CAS lawyer Tracey Engleking.
CAS Lawyer Tracey Engelking, (now a Judge
of the Ontario Superior Court) sought and obtained an Order for Custody of the
child, to place the child with the mother, who had Just been charged, with
Threatening to Kill the Father and assaulting him, some 55 times in One Day.
The Ottawa Police are well aware that the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa
commit a host of Criminal Offences with absolute immunity and total impunity.
They are able to do this because we have a CORRUPT Ottawa Police who Promote
Domestic Violence and Child Abuse.
To be fair, Father Joe LeClair unlike The above Police Officers and Lawyers, has
no allegations of Child Abuse. He only cost Society about some $500,000 dollars.
CAS Lawyer Marguerite Isobel Lewis and Tracy Engelking, Cost Society Millions of
Dollars to Abuse Children, destroy lives, engage in Torture, Cruelty that is at
a level that rivals that of the worst dictatorships and societies in the world.
The Ottawa Police AFTER becoming aware that
Det. Peter Van Der Zander Fabricated
Evidence to NOT charge a violent women and to remove children from a Male Victim
of Domestic Violence was then Promoted to Sgt.
If you are a violent child abusing criminal and need Millions of Dollars of Free
Legal Assistance, with Guaranteed Legal Success Call Marguerite Isobel Lewis of
the Ottawa Children's Aid Society at (613) 747-7800 Ext. 3241
Marguerite.Lewis@CASott.on.ca or Detective Peter Van Der Zander (613) 736-1222
Ext. 3417
If you need Criminal Charges Stayed against Ottawa's most Notorious Government
Funded Criminals, call TARA DOBEC of the Ottawa Crown Attorney's Office (613)
239-239-1200
If you encounter these Criminals, Ontario Legal Aid will Fabricate Evidence to
ensure your Legal Aid is terminated. Lawyers for the Ontario Government will
provide Fabricated Evidence to ensure you don't have an representation AFTER
they destroy your reputation and any ability to work, travel in Ottawa or even
attend Court.
If you go to the Ontario Superior Court , Judges like Former CAS lawyer Tim
Minemma will personally fabricate evidence and the others will issue orders
preventing any Appeal of decisions that normally have an automatic right of
appeal.
Marguerite Isobel Lewis does NOT deny the allegations. Neither does Tracy
Engelking or TARA DOBEC or Peter Van Der Zander. Neither do ANY of the Judges
who heard and saw the evidence.
To "hide" these complaints The Ottawa Police embarked on a series of Malicious
Prosecutions, and the Crown Attorney? Tara Dobec, the same Crown who stayed
Charges against the Violent Mother and believe it or not, Marguerite Isobel
Lewis.
These host of Criminal offences were committed against an Australian Child
Citizen who was then incarcerated by the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa.
To date, the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the Australian Foreign
Minister have failed to express any concern to the Canadian Government regarding
the outrageous criminal offences committed against an Australian Child in
Canada.
The Ontario Provincial Attorney General is a former Ottawa Lawyer who appears to know these criminals personally.
The Federal Attorney General Peter McKay has a responsibility when Federal
Judges of the Ontario Superior Court engage in "misconduct", that's the polite
expression used to describe Judges who personally Fabricate Evidence, and
obstruct Justice by Issuing Orders to protect Criminals like Marguerite Lewis or
to issue exparte orders for custody after the CAS Illegally make "custody
decisions" to promote Domestic violence against children and fathers.
The Above Criminals should be banned from entry to any country that bans entry
to Criminals who commit crimes of Moral Turpitude, including Child abuse and
offences against the Administration of Justice.

Richard Chaplinsky Information wanted
The Parents of children at the Good Shepherd Catholic School in Gloucester have some serious concerns.The Catholic School Board are aware of the damming evidence against this creep and have failed to remove him.
The Principle of Good Shepherd Catholic School in Gloucester Ottawa,
Richard Chaplinsky recently lied under oath,
committed perjury in hearing where he appeared to support a violent mother and
her Free Legal Service at the Corrupt Children's Aid Society of Ottawa, to
terminate a child's relationship with the child's father simply because he was
the victim of domestic violence.
If you are a violent mother and need a Principle to come to court for you and
commit blatant perjury, give Richard Chaplinsky a call.
You see, Richard Chaplinsky, After a meeting with the CAS, decided to make a
complaint of Criminal Harassment of the father for apparently no other purpose
than to assist the CAS.
Under examination at a recent charade of a trial,
Richard Chaplinsky, Denied
having made a complaint to the Ottawa Police. The Children's Aid Society
however acknowledged that a heavily redacted report that referred to "my school"
and "his school" and being a principle, with his name entirely "redacted" was in
fact Richard Chaplinsky.
It's a terrible state when a Catholic School Principle decides to get involved
to assist one parent "Terminate" a child's relationship with a parent.
What makes this especially repugnant is that this was the Catholic Elementary
School where children are taught religion, ethics, honesty and integrity.
The Ottawa Police of course will not be ordering transcripts or laying any
charges against anyone involved with their Partner Criminal Organization,
The Children's Aid Society of Ottawa.

This Priest is not the Only Criminal in Ottawa in a position of trust, power and authority.
Here are Three Rotten Evidence Fabricating Ottawa Police "officers" who all
Fabricated evidence and or Obstructed Justice in offences against the
administration of Justice.
Cst. Van T. Ngyen #952 Cst. Samuel W. Smith # 880 and worst
of all, Detective Van Der Zander #1639, ALL Fabricated Evidence NOT to charge
a very violent mother, to remove the children from the care of a Male Victim of
Domestic Violence to place them with a very violent mother.
Its' called "The Power of God" and usually you see it with their Corporate Partners in Crime, The Children's Aid Society of Ottawa.
Another Ottawa Criminal who has absolute Power, Authority and the "Blessing" and sprinkling of Holy Water from the Chief of the Ottawa Police, is CAS Lawyer Marguerite Isobel Lewis.
This professional Child Abuser Fabricated Evidence in Court that a Father admitted to a host of criminal allegations in order to keep an Australian Citizen Child, incarcerated.
To give Credit to the Ottawa Police, a Sgt. John Gibbons was outraged, "She lied to the Judge, It's perjury he said". Unfortunately John Gibbons didn't read his criminal code. Lawyers can lie their heads off, they can say almost anything but they can't "Fabricate Evidence" or give "Fabricated" evidence that they know is false to a Judge to "Obstruct Justice" and "Abuse a child" A then 4 year old Australian Citizen Child who Australia does not even bother, expressing any concern about despite the present concern in Australia about how Aboriginal infants were stolen by Child Protection in Australia some 20 years ago.
Ontario now promotes Domestic Violence against Fathers. Its a very Fas-scist war of "Gender Superiority" that is based upon a conclusion that any parent born with testicles is a violent abuser and if they are born female, they are delicate angelic figures with halo's and who are always victims according to the CAS or 90% of the time if you are the Ottawa Police.
Sgt, John Gibbons dropped that investigation upon a call from another Corrupt
CAS lawyer Tracey Engleking.
CAS Lawyer Tracey Engleking, sought and obtained an Order for Custody of the
child, to ILLEGALLY place the child with the mother, who had Just been charged,
with Threatening to Kill the Father and assaulting him, some 55 times in One
Day.
The CAS knew that two days after she completed an Anger Management, she assaulted her new male partner by placing a strangle hold around his neck with her thumbs intertwined around his neck, she told him "My father was KGB, I know what I am doing". She later threatened to make a complaint to her Free Legal Service, the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa to have HIS kids taken from him.
The Ottawa Police spend a lot of time and effort in Publicity Promotions but
they literally shoot themselves when the engage in habitual fabrication of
evidence, trumping up fabricated criminal charges to cover their own Criminal
Activities.
no allegations of any Child Abuse. The only evidence we have been told
about is personal greed. Joe LeClair has only cost Ottawa Society about some
$500,000 dollars.
CAS Lawyer Marguerite Isobel Lewis and Tracy Engelking, Cost Society Millions of
Dollars to Abuse Children, destroy lives, engage in Torture, Cruelty that is at
a level that rivals that of the worst dictatorships and societies in the world.
Between the Ottawa Police and the Children's Aid Society, not to mention all
the ancillary collateral resources that support them, their Criminal Activites
cost Ottawa Billions of dollars, that should be invested positively in society.
The Above Criminals should be banned from entry to any country that bans entry
to Criminals who commit crimes of Moral Turpitude, including Child abuse and
offences against the Administration of Justice.
Before you rush to Flag this comment, be advised that the Above Criminals do NOT deny the allegations. Their silence or refusal to deny the allegations in court documents is daming evidence of their guilt. The Ottawa Police have been supplied with all the relevant documents and do not deny the allegations or above facts.
The Ottawa Police have, in order to bury the matter, repeatedly failed to comply with Court Orders for disclosure and have denied existence of records that they did not know were otherwise provided by them without their knowledge.
