Six members of the Jesuits of Canada who were employed at schools in Regina, Sask. were named in a recent list documenting ‘credible’ accusations of sexual abuse over the past 70 years.
“We cannot rewrite the past. We do wish to contribute to reconciliation, to right past wrongs and to rebuild trust,” Erik Oland, head of the Jesuits of Canada said in a statement.
“The undertaking of our audit and the decision to publish the names of those credibly accused express our commitment to transparency and accountability,”
The Jesuits, a religious order affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, began the audit in December of 2019 as one part of its response to alleged sexual abuse and its aftermath.
The audit was done with the help of independent investigator Brian King of King International Advisory Group beginning in early 2020, the organization explained.
At total of 27 members across Canada were included on the list.
Six of the men were employed at Regina’s Campion College or its affiliated high school, while one was also employed at Miller High School, according to the pastoral assignments listed for each member.
