In documents bearing the seal of the Archdiocese, García-Siller withdrew Fr. Foster’s faculties, banning him from public ministry, while also suppressing his religious community, the MDM.
Foster is no longer permitted to preach or hear confessions and has been removed from his position as Parochial Vicar at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Canyon Lake, Texas.
García-Siller has also ordered the seizure by the Archdiocese of the apostolate’s property.
