The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis announced Friday, Nov. 9, that it has prohibited Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer from “ever exercising priestly ministry.”
The written announcement came on the heels of Thursday’s guilty plea by Wehmeyer to sexually abusing two boys and possessing child pornography while he was the priest at Blessed Sacrament in St. Paul.
Wehmeyer, 48, of Oakdale, was removed from the parish by archdiocese officials on June 21, after the victims went to the police.
He pleaded guilty Thursday in Ramsey County District Court to all charges against him: three counts of criminal sexual conduct and 17 counts of possession of child porn.
