About the diocese's list

The Diocese of Marquette lists priests who served in the diocese and have been permanently removed from all public ministry, or would be if they were alive, under the church's charter and norms on abuse of minors.

The Attorney General's report

Released 27 October 2022 (summary revised 20 May 2024, three entries revised 25 June 2026). It names 44 people. Read the report (PDF on michigan.gov).

The Attorney General's page says:

It is important to note that a criminal charge is merely an allegation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. It is also important to note that the inclusion in this report does not reflect a determination by the Department that the allegations are credible or otherwise substantiated or indicative of a crime.
