Diocese: Diocese of Grand Rapids MI
Ordained: 1974

In a legal case initiated in November 1988, a woman made allegations against Host and her former spouse, accusing them of engaging in inappropriate behavior towards her two young sons, aged four and six, for a duration of two years. Additionally, the lawsuit implicated the USCC and NCCB (catholic conferences) with regards to the same matter. It is worth noting that Host, who was named in the suit, was still serving as an actively involved parish priest according to the 2002 Catholic Directory and the Diocesan website, which was accessed on May 28, 2004.
