St. Luke Institute
(May 6, 2013) Monsignor Edward J. Arsenault has stepped down as president and CEO of Saint Luke Institute, effective May 3, 2013. Leadership responsibilities will be shared between Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, Ph.D., who will serve as interim president, and Sheila Harron, Ph.D., who will serve as interim CEO.
Msgr. Arsenault offered his resignation in light of investigations announced today by the Diocese of Manchester (in New Hampshire) into possible improprieties, including improper financial transactions and a possible inappropriate adult relationship. Msgr. Arsenault is a priest of that diocese and held a number of leadership positions there prior to joining Saint Luke Institute in 2009.
The investigations do not involve Saint Luke Institute.
“This is very difficult news, and we are keeping this situation in prayer. Saint Luke Institute has been in the process of expanding education and services nationally. We are committed to continuing to move forward, to providing high quality care for priests and religious, and to supporting a culture of healthy ministry in the Church,” Dr. Harron said.
