Fr. Timothy F. Keppel
On 1/12/2013, the Order announced that Keppel had been removed after it had received (in summer 2012) an allegation of sexual misconduct involving a teenage boy in the San Bernardino Diocese in the late 1970s. The boy was not a member of either Our Lady of the Lake or St. Anne’s in the Mountains where Keppel was assigned for many years. The Diocese investigated and both the Diocese and Order found reasonable cause to believe that the behavior did occur. Sentenced in 2012 by the Vatican to a life of prayer and penance. Included on the Diocese’s list 10/9/2018. On the Mobile Archdiocese’s list 12/6/2018, which notes “misconduct” occurring 1977-1981; it doesn’t say where. Worked at some point at Resurrection parish in Montgomery. On the Stockton diocese’s 11/12/2020 list, noting he was a visiting priest at Mammoth Lakes during Lent 2012. Included on the Resurrectionists’ list of credibly accused 10/27/2021.

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.
