Dennis Champagne
Father Dennis Champagne is one of the 79 names released by the Seattle Archdiocese who are confirmed abusers. According to the Catholic Church’s own criteria, Father Champagne has been deemed to be credibly accused of sexual abuse or misconduct. Father Champagne served at the St. Edward Seminary in Kenmore, Washington, from 1961-1965 and from there transferred to six other assignments before his death.
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 Seattle Archdiocese’s 2016 List of Credibly Accused Clergy Members cycled through St. Edward Seminary.
