Lopez was indicted on two of the four counts of indecency with a child that allegedly led to his Sept. 11 arrest.
According to documents, the two charges stem from incidents alleged to have happened to a female parishioner on April 9, 2009, while the cleric was assigned to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Montgomery County.
Lopez has two other charges pending.
