'The forgotten boys': Three men file lawsuits claiming sex abuse at former Catholic boarding school in Edmonton
Jonny Wakefield, Edmonton Journal - August 21, 2024
Three more men have come forward claiming they were sexually abused by priests and staff at a defunct Catholic boarding school in Edmonton.
St. Mary’s Salesian Junior High is the subject of three new statements of claim filed in Court of King’s Bench this month, seeking millions in compensation for alleged abuse at the north side school.
Windsor Star - May 1, 2026 Windsor, ON - A woman from the Windsor area is suing the Roman Catholic Diocese of London, alleging a priest sexually abused her as a child in 1979–80, leading to lifelong emotional and psychological harm. The lawsuit adds to past abuse allegations against the diocese and underscores both the lasting impact of childhood abuse and the challenges survivors face in reporting it years later.
Bishop Accountability - April 25, 2026 St.John's, NF - The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador will contribute $45.8 million toward a $121 million settlement for survivors abused at Catholic-run institutions, including Mount Cashel Orphanage. The payment helps cover compensation the bankrupt archdiocese cannot fully fund, following decades of legal battles and a 2021 Supreme Court ruling holding the Church liable, though a funding shortfall remains.
