Dewayne was consecrated on July 25, 2006. by Nevins, with Archbishops John Favalora and Diarmuid Martin serving as co-consecrators, at Epiphany Cathedral in Venice.

[1] In June 2014, a group of ten priests from the diocese sent a complaint letter about Dewane to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the papal nuncio for the United States.

[4] Dewane in April 2019 ordered Reverend Christopher Senk, the former pastor of St. Isabel Parish in Sanibel, Florida, to spend a year in penance and prayer.

After a two year investigation, the Congregation for Clergy in Rome had determined that Senk had improperly accepted thousands of dollars in gifts from Marion McIntyre.
