Summary of Case: Vincent Arthur Yzermans was a St.
Cloud MN diocesan priest, ordained in 1951. In addition to serving in
parishes throughout the diocese, Yzermans was a writer and editor. He
served as a communications consultant during all three sessions of
Vatican II and was named "Monsignor" in 1965. He was also a press
advisor to the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops in Washington DC in
the mid-1960s, and editor of the national Catholic paper,
Our Sunday Visitor. Yzermans struggled with alcoholism for which he was in and out of treatment more than a dozen times. In the late 1960s he was moved out-of-state to an IN convent, spent a year in Santa Rosa CA in the mid-1970s, a year at St. Thomas College in Minneapolis, and later did a stint in residence at a parish in Anchorage AK. He was on medical leave 1979-1984 before returning to St. Cloud. Yzermans died May 4, 1995 in Albuquerque NM. His name was among 33 released by the St. Cloud diocese January 3, 2014 of clergy involved in incidents of likely claims of sexual abuse of minors.
