ST. LOUIS (MO)
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
March 27, 2019
The Dominican Province of St. Joseph has posted a list of those friars “credibly accused” of the sexual abuse of a minor. This list included the name of a man with an allegation that was “deemed to be established by the lay Provincial Review Board.” The friar is currently in residence at a New Orleans parish.
Fr. Richard Raphael Archer was removed from public ministry in 2002, according to the Dominicans. Yet the website of St. Dominic Parish in New Orleans, which has an attached school that serves children pre-K through 7th grade, shows that the priest is “in residence.” In fact, in 2017 the New Orleans Archdiocese celebrated Fr. Archer’s 65 years as a priest.
