He was transferred often over the next three decades, from the diocese of Spokane to Great Falls, Boise City, Baker, Gallup, Tucson and Portland OR, working in parishes and schools. In the early 1970s he was assigned to a chaplaincy at Oregon State Hospital in Salem, where he stayed until his death in 1991. Callan’s name was included in 2011 on a list of members of the Jesuits’ Oregon Province identified as perpetrators of sexual abuse. The Province agreed to make the list public as part of a bankruptcy reorganization plan. Details of accusations against Callan were not provided.
