Anthony Oelrich
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – A former St. Cloud priest has been officially removed from the Catholic priesthood, after using his position to manipulate a woman he was counseling into committing sexual acts.
56-year-old Anthony Oelrich pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sexual conduct in November 2019 and was sentenced to three years and five months in prison.
Bishop Donald Kettler recommended that Oelrich seek his own dismissal from the priesthood and says Oelrich agreed. The bishop says Oelrich does not receive any salary, housing or medical benefits from the diocese.
