ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – A Newfoundland archbishop is reaffirming his church’s commitment to ensuring a safe environment for parishioners just days after a disgraced clergyman was sentenced for importing child pornography.
Martin Currie, the archbishop of St. John’s, spoke about Roman Catholic bishop Raymond Lahey in a statement made during a church service Saturday evening.
Currie said the church has a thorough screening process and is dedicated to making sure its officials are not involved in crimes like Lahey’s again.
“This archdiocese is committed to establishing safe and supportive communities for our young people and vulnerable adults,” Currie said.
