Four priests who served in Pittsburgh, including the founding headmaster of the former Bishop’s Latin School, are among Jesuits accused of past sexual abuse whose names were listed Monday by the Maryland Province of their order.
The province is the latest of numerous Catholic jurisdictions around the country to list the names of accused priests in the wake of the Aug. 14 release of a Pennsylvania grand jury report into sexual abuse here.
Those listed include two Bishop’s Latin staff members from the 1960s and two others who served at Pittsburgh parishes into the 1990s, one of whom also served earlier at Bishop’s Latin.
The province listed 13 Jesuits, including current, former and deceased members, against whom credible or established accusations were made.
It listed another eight Jesuits who were subjects of accusations considered to have a semblance of truth. Four other Jesuits who served in different provinces and were accused there also served at some point in the Maryland Province.
