The Diocese of St Cloud released a list today of 4 additional priests accused of sexually abusing minors. The release adds to their previous list of 33. Along with the list the Bishop of St Cloud, Rev. Donald J. Kettler released a statement.
The List :
• Neal Emon, who worked at St. Peter Parish in St. Cloud. He lives in Phoenix.
• Gerald Funcheon, a former St. Cloud Cathedral High School employee. He lives in Missouri.
• Justin Weger, St. Therese Parish, Vineland. He is deceased.
• James Moeglein, Cathedral of St. Mary. He lives in Onamia.
According to the St Cloud Times the statement included:
St. Cloud Bishop Donald Kettler said in a written statement that the names are being released after they appeared on abuse lists released by other religious communities.

That Emon also worked as weekend priest/spiritual director, Central Minnesota TEC Program, 1978–88
