A former Columbia Heights priest who was on the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis’ list of accused priests is also on a similar list that the Diocese of Winona released Monday.

In response to a Ramsey County District Court order, the Diocese of Winona publicly released a list of 14 priests with “credible” accusations of abuse. According to the list, Thomas P. Adamson was ordained in 1958 and worked in 13 parishes in the Diocese of Winona through 1979.

Monday’s release follows the Dec. 5 release by the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis of priests “credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors in the Archdiocese.”
