Billy Doe’s mother kept meticulous track of both of her sons’ grade school events.
On monthly calendars, she noted dates and times for football and hockey games, doctor’s appointments, and guitar lessons, flu shots and snow days. She wrote down dates for upcoming exams, school projects, home and school meetings, as well as the day that report cards came out.
She also kept track of the Masses that her sons were scheduled to serve at as altar boys at St. Jerome’s Church.
Billy Doe’s mother kept all those calendars, including the 1998 and 1999 calendars when Billy was a fifth grader at St. Jerome’s. That’s the school year when Billy claims he was raped by Father Charles Engelhardt after a 6:30 a.m. Mass.
