Fr. Patrick J. Barrett

Diocese: Diocese of Gaylord MI
Ordained: 1959
Status of Accusation: Accused

In 2002, Barrett found himself on a temporary hiatus from his duties following an accusation of molesting a young boy three decades earlier. The alleged abuse was said to have occurred beyond the confines of the diocese, and an investigative committee deemed the charges to be believable. Tragically, Barrett passed away in March of 2006. However, it was not until November 10, 2018, that his name was officially added to the diocese’s list, with the notation that he had been permanently barred from engaging in public ministry since 2002.
