Timeline

1935

Lawrence Harold Welsh (February 1, 1935 – January 13, 1999) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.

Lawrence Welsh was born on February 1, 1935, in Winton, Wyoming.

1962

He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Helena by Bishop Joseph Michael Gilmore on March 26, 1962.

1978

He previously served as bishop of the Diocese of Spokane in Washington State from 1978 to 1989.

On November 6, 1978, Pope John Paul II appointed Welsh as bishop of the Diocese of Spokane.

He was consecrated by Archbishop Raymond Gerhardt Hunthausen on December 14, 1978.

Welsh was accused of reassigning the priest Patrick O'Donnell to another parish after three families brought allegations of sexual abuse of children by O'Donnell to the knowledge of Bishop Welsh.

1986

On September 9, 1986, a male sex worker claimed that Welsh, in Chicago for a Knights of Columbus convention, had taken him to a motel.

While the man was performing oral sex, he said that Welsh "began to strangle him."

During his police interview, Welsh admitted to picking up a so-called drug addict and taking him to his hotel room for counseling.

On further questioning, Welsh admitted to putting his hands all over the accuser's body.

The investigation resulted in Welsh being considered as a possible suspect for the Green River serial killings for which Gary Ridgway was later convicted.

On September 29, 1986, the Spokane police met with Welsh and Seattle Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen.

At this meeting, Welsh stated that "he did not feel he did anything violent in the course of the sex act and that if he had it would have been as an outlet for frustrations that had built up within him."

Welsh, Hunthausen, and the police detectives agreed that Welsh should be examined by a psychiatrist.

Welsh was never charged in the incident; one former Spokane detective claimed that the story had been "handled in a hush-hush manner".

1991

He served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis in Minnesota from 1991 to 1999.

On August 21, 1991, John Paul II accepted Welsh's resignation as bishop of the Diocese of Spokane.

His resignation came after a recent arrest in Spokane for driving under the influence of alcohol.

On November 5, 1991, John Paul II appointed Welsh as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and Titular Bishop of Aulon Lawrence Welsh died on January 13, 1999, at age 63 in Helena, Montana.

2002

In October 2002, it was revealed that Welsh was investigated by the Spokane Police Department in 1986 on an assault allegation from Chicago.

This incident did not become public until October 2002, when the Spokane Spokesman-Review published the story.
