Fr. Rudolph M. Henrich

Ordained for the St. Paul archdiocese. A man told the Archdiocese in 2010 that he had been sexually abused as a child by Henrich in the 1950s and 1960s at St. Margaret Mary’s in Golden Valley. The Archdiocese did not reply to the man’s letter until 8/2011. They admitted in their response that the Archdiocese had spoken to several other individuals who had been sexually abused by Henrich, but his name was never publicly released. Henrich was permanently removed from ministry in 1976 and died in 1992. His name was included the Archdiocese’s 12/5/2013 list of credibly accused. A lawsuit was filed 12/16/2013. Included on New Ulm diocese’s list released 3/29/2016. There are least 13 alleged victims.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
