KANKAKEE — A judge set bond at one million dollars (Thursday) for Father Richard E. Jacklin, pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Goodrich. He was arrested by Illinois State Police Tuesday and charged with sexually assaulting a resident at Shapiro Developmental Center in Kankakee.

Kankakee County State's Attorney Jim Rowe said the investigation is ongoing.

The Joliet Diocese is cooperating with the investigation.
Jacklin previously had served a number of area Catholic churches as an assistant or substitute priest, according to the Diocese.
