The list spans more than 60 years, from 1950 to 2012. The sexual abuse of children by priests swept across metro-area parishes, 92 in all, from Woodbury to Hopkins.
Most, but not all, victims were boys. And some parishes were made particularly vulnerable: Three abusive priests served together in 1984 in the same parish — St. Joseph’s in Lino Lakes — Pastor Lee Krautkremer and priests Timothy McCarthy and Robert Zasacki.
The list names several priests who were placed in new parishes without the church giving any warning to families that they had been the subject of alleged or confirmed sexual misconduct, including Kern and the Rev. Thomas Adamson.
Jamie Heutmaker and Al Michaud, who were abused in separate instances by Kern in the late 1960s and 1970s and later received settlements, said at a news conference that the list will help end clergy abuse.
“If they only did the right thing when things were first reported, we wouldn’t be here,” Michaud said.
Eleven of the 34 priests named Thursday are dead. Another cleric, the Rev. Ronan Liles, is believed to be dead, the archdiocese reported. All were removed from the ministry at some point, including two as recently as 2012 — the Rev. Curtis Wehmeyer and Palmitessa.
