Notorious pedophile Catholic priest Michael Charles Glennon has died in prison.

Corrections Victoria spokesman Mario Xuereb confirmed on Wednesday that Glennon, 69, died overnight of natural causes at the Hopkins Correctional Centre in Ararat.

Glennon was serving a 14-and-a-half year sentence with a 10-year minimum for child sex offences.
In 2003, a court heard that he faced 30 charges for molestation against four victims between 1983 and 1991.

Most of the offences were committed at youth camps held at Karaglen, a rural property at Lancefield, north of Melbourne, which Glennon helped operate.

The former priest was convicted of sexually abusing 15 children between 1974 and 1991, mostly at Karaglen.
