St. Edward Seminary: A Training Ground, Launching Pad for Sexual Abusive Priests

Saint Edward SeminaryThe Catholic Church has acknowledged nearly seven thousand priests are admitted or “credibly accused” child sex abusers. These sexual abusers are known to have sexually and physically abused, and psychologically manipulated thousands of children nationwide.

We know dozens of sexual abuser priests studied and/or taught at St. Edward Seminary in Kenmore, Washington during its 46 years of operation. These priests have admitted to sexually abusing children, or have been deemed “credibly accused” by the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle. In fact, 14 of the dozens priests on the Archdiocese’s entire credibly accused list of priests cycled through St. Edward Seminary before being assigned to other churches. It was truly a training ground and launching pad for abuse that ultimately spread nationwide.

Between 1938 and 1956, the Seattle Archdiocese placed a staggering number of known serial child molesters into positions of power, trust, and authority at St. Edward Seminary, including these prolific child sexual predators:

Families Exposed to These Priests Have a Right to Know the Horrible Truth About St. Edward and its Sex Abusers.

Families Exposed to These Priests Have a Right to Know The Horrible Truth About St. Edward and Its Sex Abusers.Darrell Cochran and his legal team have filed a lawsuit on behalf of multiple individuals who have suffered the horror of abuse at the St. Edward Seminary.    Darrell and his team are providing the names of the above priests – all known sex offenders – so that individuals who may have been abused finally find the justice and peace they deserve.  And with the Archdiocese continuing to hide the identities of known sexual abuser priests, the Cochran team continues its relentless pursuit of the truth at St. Edward, and across the entire organization.

Darrell Cochran has spent over 30 years holding individuals and organizations – including many religious organizations, accountable for their actions and inaction to protect children from harm.  You can read the list of priests “credibly accused” of sexual abuse across the country here:
