UPDATE: The name of a former priest, Jack L. Krough, who served in Waseca County from 1990-96 has been added to this story.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Winona on Monday named 14 priests credibly accused of sexually abusing minors. Three of those priests served in Waseca County at some point in their careers.
The list was filed in Ramsey County District by the diocese, only a day before a deadline set by a judge. The three priests who served in Waseca County were Sylvester Brown, Ferdinand Kaiser and Jack Krough, the two former are now deceased.
The list includes priests who the diocese considers to be credibly accused. Joel Hennessy, spokesman and communication director for the Winona Diocese, said that Bishop John Quinn hoped that releasing the list demonstrates “the sincere apology of the diocese, and the desire to heal and begin moving forward.”
