The Maryland Province of the Society of Jesus released the names Monday of Jesuits from the province, and others who have served the province, who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors since 1950.
“We are deeply sorry for the harm we have caused to victims and their families,” reads a letter accompanying the list of names. “We also apologize for participating in the harm that abuse has done to our Church, a Church that we love and that preaches God’s care for all, especially the most vulnerable among us.”
Five of the men, the group says, are current Maryland Province Jesuits or are current Jesuits from another Province whose offense took place in the Maryland Province.
