This letter highlights the risks associated with a Seminary, where young boys live in a cloistered environment with older priests. Bernadette calls on Cardinal Leo to advocate for the seminary's closure.

'The forgotten boys': Three men file lawsuits claiming sex abuse at former Catholic boarding school in Edmonton https://t.co/i2bHJ92UVT via @edmontonjournal

[leona huggins @leonahug]

What more can I say? Rosica tried to tell the world that @CCCB_CECC has #clergyabuse under control. @ustmikesPres check on your former students who had close relationships with him. #churchtoo #Catholic https://t.co/BaKprgIfpQ

Seems a bit concerning that the Rector, Band, English, religion teacher @archvancouver's Seminary of Christ the King in Mission, B.C. was removed for "breach of our policies, in regards to appropriate ministerial boundaries with adults". @BCCatholic???

@MarkHuemmert @jonnywakefield I can’t imagine what it was like for the young boys who attended. Away from home living among these men. Who would they go to for help?

[leona huggins @leonahug]

@jonnywakefield The soundtrack for season three is phenomenal!

[Jonny Wakefield @jonnywakefield]

New from me: three more men have filed lawsuits claiming they were sexually abused by priests and lay staff at St. Mary’s Salesian Junior High, a former Catholic boys school on Edmonton’s north side #yeg https://t.co/5d0NZTfPDd

@jonnywakefield Thank you for amplifying the voices of survivors.

[leona huggins @leonahug]

@DonaldMcleish So sorry, Donald. It's horrific to think that this is going on in my backyard. How do church officials think that this is okay? This is truly outrageous!

[leona huggins @leonahug]

@RudyKehler @Bernadette75006 @DrDoyleSays @DianeLangberg @Theholisticpsyc @centre4trauma Hear, hear Rudy, and thanks I’m wondering if he’d give the same sermon to a group of boys? Also because they’re students and this is a school mass, they have little choice in being there. They HAVE to listen to him. He’s a product of @archvancouver Seminary of Christ the King.

[leona huggins @leonahug]

I was alerted to this sermon by @Bernadette75006 in her recent blog. Manipulative is the word that comes to my mind. I’d appreciate thoughts from others more learned than me. https://t.co/gva1r8Ldw2

@DonaldMcleish Australia is definitely ahead of Canada as well.

@justbegemma Great work!

It looks like Fr. Gauthier died earlier this year. No mention in his obituary of those he harmed. https://t.co/eyYGVje9L5

[Devon Taylor @seedevonwrite]

This is Father Gilles Gauthier.

His was the first name we heard in our reporting—and he became a focus of our investigation. He was at St. Michael's 1960-1972. He was a principal. He was credibly accused of sexual abuse by 16 people.

Father Gauthier is still alive.

[leona huggins @leonahug]

@seedevonwrite So googling for another case today and see that Fr. Gauthier died recently. I wonder how much investigation the oblates really did? https://t.co/eyYGVje9L5

[leona huggins @leonahug]

@davidgclohessy @Smartcairns11 How does this work? Weren’t @ENDCLERGYABUSE and @hans_zollner collaborating a few weeks ago on #zerotolerance?
