MOUNT CALVARY — A Catholic priest in Fond du Lac County has been placed on administrative leave amid accusations of sexual misconduct involving a minor more than two decades ago in Montana.
The Capuchin Province of St. Joseph released a newsletter to parishioners over the weekend stating that Father Dennis Druggan, president and rector at St. Lawrence Seminary High School, had been placed on administrative leave effective July 13.
The statement released by the Capuchin Province reported that an independent investigation has been launched to look into sexual misconduct allegations involving a minor at St. Labre Indian School in Ashland, Mont., over 25 years ago.
St. Labre Indian School located in southwest Montana offers preschool through high school education for Crow and Northern Cheyenne children. Combined enrollment at the school’s three campuses is estimated at 700 students. Students living more than 40 miles from the school stay in dormitories during the week, according to the school’s website.
