Mills would not identify the victim, but Mayor Frank Jager confirmed that Rev. Eric Freed was found deceased in the building after he failed to show up for 9 a.m. Mass.
No suspects or persons of interest have been identified in the case, Mills said, but he assured that his department would expend every resource to conduct a complete and thorough investigation.
Parishioner Winette Treder said she was in the church for Mass this morning. She said when Freed didn't show up, Deacon Frank Weber went to look for him.
"He came in and said there was something terribly wrong with Father Eric," Treder said, adding that she and fellow parishioners then said the Rosary for Freed until police eventually asked them to leave the church.
A teary eyed Jager addressed the crowd of about 100 community members at the church, saying Freed was a tremendous person and an asset to the community.
Mills declined to estimate when the murder may have occurred, but said it happened between 6:20 last night, when parishioners left an evening Mass, and 9 a.m. today.
A popular priest, Freed was formally installed as St. Bernard's pastor in August 2011. In addition to his priestly duties, Freed also taught in the Religious Studies Department at Humboldt State University.
