LIST OF CLERGY CREDIBLY ACCUSED OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
The following is a list of members of the clergy who served in the Diocese of Biloxi and who were credibly accused of sexual misconduct involving minors during their time here. It is the policy and praxis of the Diocese of Biloxi to report all allegations, credible or otherwise, to civil authorities. This list does not include allegations prior to the founding of the Diocese of Biloxi in 1977 (it is understood that these will be released by the Diocese of Jackson in the spring). The list below also does not include abuse alleged to have happened outside the Diocese by extern clergy who served here.
We pray that the release of these names may not be a source of additional pain or suffering to those affected.
We earnestly urge all institutions, public and private, to join us in shining a light of truth on a momentous societal problem.
