A chilling number from the 1957 roster of Mount Cashel was
read out in Courtroom No. 2 at Newfoundland Supreme Court this morning. Among the 10 Christian Brothers serving at Mount Cashel in February of
that year, four were ultimately convicted of crimes against children.
Outside court, one of the John Does in the civil lawsuit against the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corp. of St. John’s was not shocked by the number because of what he has said were his experiences with physical and sexual abuse at the hands of certain members of the lay order Christian Brothers. He left the orphanage a couple years before 1957.
