A priest assigned to Lake Elmo nearly 30 years ago appears on the newly released list of clergy deemed “credibly accused” of child sexual abuse by the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The archdiocese published a list of 34 priests Thursday in the online edition of The Catholic Spirit, the newspaper that serves the archdiocese.
About half of the parishes in the archdiocese—92 out of 188 parishes—had one of the priests on the list there at some point, according to the archdiocese.
Many of those listed had associations with parishes on the east side of the Twin Cities metro area, with one (see below) having served in Lake Elmo in 1984.
