Summary of Case: Vincent A. Orlando was ordained a Jesuit priest of the New Orleans Province in 1974. He worked as an educator in Jesuit high schools in Dallas and Houston, TX and in Tampa, FL. In April 2002 he was removed from ministry after a report was made to the New Orleans Province that in 1985, when Orlando was assigned to Strake Prep. in Houston, he engaged in sexual misconduct with a minor. The Jesuits acknowledged in May 2002 that this was not the first complaint against Orlando. In 1984 a Strake student told school officials that Orlando tried to inpappropriately touch him during a school ski trip. The New Orleans Province was informed; civil authorities were not. Orlando was “admonished” and kept his job at Strake until a transfer to Tampa in 2000. He is known to have been living since 2003 in a Jesuit community in New Orleans.
Ordained: 1974
