ARTICLE SNIPPET: “An incident at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Rock Island that prompted a warning letter and a brief investigation by police was nothing more than a misunderstanding, the parish pastor said.

Several unknown men who were seen last weekend inside and outside the church actually were a resident who is new to the area and some of his friends, said the Rev. Michael Schaab.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “After learning of newspaper reports regarding the incident, the new resident -– who is Catholic and a native of India –- visited Rev. Schaab Saturday morning to explain the situation.

The man, his wife and their 3-year-old child recently moved to the Quad-Cities after he took a job here, Rev. Schaab said. Because the man’s father recently had died, he had friends visiting him who wished to attend church with him, the pastor added.

“The family has been coming to Mass but hadn’t registered at our parish yet. That’s why we didn’t know them,” Rev. Schaab said. “It was simply a misunderstanding.”

Rev. Schaab said he did not ask the man whether he or any of his friends took photographs before, during or after Mass.”
