Organization releasing report on Jesuit priests
Some school officials will soon learn if they’ve employed priests or others who have faced “established accusations” of sexually abusing children.
The Midwest Province of the Society of Jesus will release a report Monday to Jesuit institutions, including St. Xavier High School and Xavier University, naming every priest who has been accused of sexual abuse since 1955.
St. Xavier’s president has promised to release the names associated with St. X when they get them.
“This isn’t something we’re trying to hide, this isn’t something we’re proud of, but our goal is to build trust,” president Tim Reilly said Thursday.
Reilly said there is the distinct possibility that priests associated with the school will be on the list.
