THE Catholic Education Office provided a record of service statement
for a sacked lay teacher and convicted child sex offender in 1979, but
did not report him to police, after it was allegedly told he had
sexually abused four children.
Former St Patricks Sutherland principal Brother Anthony Whelan, who retired as director of Broken Bay Catholic Schools Office in 2012, told a church investigator in 2010 that he reported ‘‘sexual misconduct’’ by teacher Thomas Keady to the Catholic Education Sydney Office in 1979 and was advised to ‘‘summarily dismiss’’ Keady.
