Standing before reporters and cameras in Hayden Hall July 20,
Archbishop Bernard Hebda said that the archdiocese failed in its
handling of the case of Curtis Wehmeyer, a former priest who pleaded
guilty in two courts of abusing three brothers while pastor of Blessed
Sacrament in St. Paul.
“We failed to give priority to the safety and well-being of the children he hurt over the interests of Curtis Wehmeyer and the archdiocese,” Archbishop Hebda said. “In particular, we failed to prevent Curtis Wehmeyer from sexually abusing children. Those children, their parents, their family, their parish and others were harmed. We are sorry. I am sorry.”
