St. Edward Seminary

The Seattle Archdiocese opened St. Edward Seminary in Kenmore, Washington around 1930.  During its 46-years of operation, it developed dozens of pedophilic priests. Many of the priests who studied at and/or taught at St. Edward Seminary admitted to sexually abusing children or have been deemed credibly accused by Defendant Seattle Archdiocese.  It is a fact that 14 of the dozens of credibly accused priests from the Seattle Archdiocese’s 2016 List of Credibly Accused Clergy Members cycled through St. Edward Seminary.
