QUEBEC CITY — A Catholic order has agreed to pay $20 million to at least 100 former students molested by priests between 1960 and 1987.
Nine priests were accused of abusing children at Saint-Alphonse college east of Quebec City. Some of the priests have since died.
The college is associated with the internationally revered shrine at the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre Basilica, located northeast of the city.
A lawyer for the Redemptorist order at the centre of the scandal confirmed the cash settlement Tuesday.
