The  Darien priest who pleaded guilty to a federal fraud charge is due to surrender to prison later this month, six months after the original date. The Reverend Michael Jude Fay -- whom prosecutors say stole more than a million dollars from the St. John Roman Catholic Church -- was sentenced to 37 months in prison last December. But Fay's lawyers had been fighting that, arguing it would not be possible to continue his cancer treatment at the North Carolina facility where he was originally assigned.

Parties in the case, including the lawyers and representatives of Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where Fay has been undergoing drug trials, arranged in a conference call this week for Fay's drug trial participation to be transferred to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Massachusetts. Instead of North Carolina, he'll be incarcerated at the Federal Medical Center at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. He's due to report by noon Oct 21.

Prosecutors say Fay set up secret bank accounts using parish money to pay for expensive trips and to buy a condominium.
