Catholic Clergy Offender Finder | Search Accused Catholic Priests
The Catholic Clergy Offender Finder is a free, searchable resource for finding publicly available information about Catholic clergy accused of sexual abuse or misconduct involving minors.
Search the Catholic Clergy Offender Finder: Use the search tool below to find publicly available information about Catholic priests and other clergy members accused of sexual abuse or misconduct involving minors. This nationwide database includes clergy associated with Catholic dioceses, archdioceses, parishes, schools, seminaries, and religious institutions across the United States.
Search by clergy member name, state, city, assignment year, location, or diocese. Because clergy may serve in multiple locations, searching by name may reveal additional assignments and publicly available information.
Support for Survivors of Catholic Clergy Sexual Abuse
Not finding a name in this database does not mean the abuse did not happen, and it does not mean you have no legal options. No single database is complete. Many dioceses and religious orders have released only partial lists, some have released none, and some clergy who served in one location were named only in another. Names are also added over time as new records and disclosures become public.
If you or someone you know was sexually abused by a Catholic priest or other clergy member, you are not alone. You may have questions about who abused you, where that person served, whether others have come forward, and what legal rights you may have.
If you do not see the person who harmed you, or if you have information about someone who is not listed, you can still reach out to our team. A conversation is confidential and does not commit you to anything.
