Statement on the Passing of Fr. Denny Dempsey

October 26, 2021 By Marianne Brass

With great sadness the Church of the Risen Savior announces the tragic loss of our pastor, Father Denny Dempsey. Father Denny was enjoying one of his favorite activities, riding his bicycle in Rosemount. He was struck by a motor vehicle and did not survive the impact. Circumstances of the accident are under investigation. Father Dempsey was 73 years old and a Roman Catholic priest for 41 years. In addition to his assignments as a parish priest in St. Paul, Northfield, and here at Risen Savior, he served as a missionary priest in Venezuela for 7 years. Father Denny lived his life as the hands and feet of Christ and shared his love with for every person he met, treating each as a child of God, especially the marginalized. He was a true unifier for our Anglo and Latino communities and will be greatly missed.
