In 2004, Dupré was indicted (but not prosecuted) on two counts of child molestation. He was the first American Catholic bishop to be indicted in the church sexual abuse scandal of the 20th century.
Dupré was born on November 10, 1933, in South Hadley, Massachusetts. As a boy, he attended the Collège de Montréal, a minor seminary in Montreal, Quebec, from 1951 to 1952. Returning to Massachusetts, he briefly attended Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts before returning to Montreal in 1955 to study theology at the Grand Seminary of Montreal.
Dupré was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Springfield by Bishop Christopher Weldon in Springfield on May 23, 1959. After his ordination, Dupré served as an assistant pastor at St. George's Parish in Chicopee, Massachusetts until 1964. He was then sent to study at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Returning to Springfield in 1966, Dupré had the following parish assignments in the diocese:

St. John the Baptist in Ludlow (1970–1973)
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin in Chicopee (1973–1977)
St. Louis de France in West Springfield (1978–1990)
Dupré was named chancellor of the diocese in 1977 and vicar general in 1989.
