Not only owning a shop from 2008-2010 but presumedly running the Eclipse shop from 2010 onward. That's an assumption, I realize. As late as 2015 he was the owner of this shop.

Now, to play devil's advocate (pun intended) if Father was ordained in the mid 1990's by a traditional Bishop somewhere and then left bereft of a priestly assignment, well that's another question. It's just that there's no real details available and there are a lot of people with serious doubts. 

He wouldn't be the first traditional priest who had no way to minister and was forced to live and work in the world. I'm trying to explore all the angles here, but why the insistent blackout of information by the chapel board??

If that were the case, no problem would exist. Everyone would understand.
Something else is going on.

As you say, "why the insistent blackout of information by the chapel board??"
They must have believed some lie he told them in order to continue to "protect" him from concerned parents.

Friends at the chapel with children in the school attempted to talk to the school board and scheduled an appointment with one of the four members to discuss their concerns. The person then cancelled the scheduled meeting. What does that tell you?

Why are they stonewalling?

Going to the police is an excellent idea.  I always thought that there was a law that said that anyone working with children had to be checked out.  I could be wrong.  After the Boy Scout abuses came to light I thought that they tightened the laws.  At the very least the police might be able to direct you on how to proceed.  Certainly worth a try.  If Weist gets wind of it & he's not who he says he is, then he just might disappear.
Yes, the police might be able to direct you on how to proceed. 

It's o.k. if he disappears, isn't it?

the CA department of education codes clearly state that:
44237. Fingerprints; private school employees; criminal record information; list of teachers with revoked or suspended credentials; fees; confidentiality

(Note: This section is excerpted. To read the entire section, see EC 44237External link opens in new window or tab..)
(a) Every person, firm, association, partnership, or corporation offering or conducting private school instruction on the elementary or high school level shall require each applicant for employment in a position requiring contact with minor pupils to submit two sets of fingerprints prepared for submittal by the employer to the Department of Justice for the purpose of obtaining criminal record summary information from the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
(b)
(1) As used in this section, "employer" means every person, firm, association, partnership, or corporation offering or conducting private school instruction on the elementary or high school level.
(2) As use in this section, "employment" means the act of engaging the services of a person, who will have contact with pupils, to work in a position at a private school at the elementary or high school level on or after September 30, 1997, on a regular, paid full-time basis, regular, paid part-time basis or paid full- or part-time seasonal basis.
(3) As used in this section, "applicant" means any person who is seriously being considered for employment by an employer.
(4) This section does not apply to a secondary school pupil working at the school he or she attends or a parent or legal guardian working exclusively with his or her children.


I can't find who enforces these rules.
I would probably call the CA association of private school organizations and ask them for advice:

I no longer attend OLHC, so it doesn't make sense for me to call.

Come on families in CA complaining about OLHC and Wiest: stop complaining and ACT

THREE OAKS — The new Eclipse shop at 11 South Elm St. in Three Oaks is full of surprises.
Owner Michael Wiest said Eclipse features “antiques from the 18th Century up until the mid-20
the Century, and beyond” as well as contemporary art.

From 2008 until December 2010 Mr. Michael Wiest operated the Opulence shop in Three Oaks, which he said dealt mostly in furniture and traditional antiques.

Question:  If so... what does a "priest" have to do with owning a antique store from 2008 to 2010?
not just any antique store but a Buddhist one!
