Dear Alumni,

Approximately three weeks ago, you were informed that an allegation of

misconduct was made by an adult against Father Jack Hanna. Immediately

upon receipt of the allegation, Father Hanna agreed to undergo an

assessment at a therapeutic center for priests. He has acknowledged

that he behaved inappropriately and will be receiving extensive

residential treatment at the facility. He has expressed deep regret

for any harm caused by his behavior and believes it is best that he

resign his position at St. Thomas High School so that he may focus on

his treatment.

We wish to express our sincere appreciation to you for your concern

for Father Hanna and ask you to please keep him in your prayers during

this difficult time.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Kevin Storey, C.S.B.

Fr. Patrick Fulton, C.S.B.
