The USA Northeast Province of the
Society of Jesus released a list yesterday, January 15 of Jesuits with credible
allegations of sexual abuse against minors. This list includes Jesuits of the
Northeast Province. While two of the Jesuits on the list, Father Peter Conroy
(1980 – 1984, 1994 – 2002) and Father William Scanlon (1976 – 1980), were at
one time missioned at Canisius, the incidents of abuse did not occur
during their time at the college.

3:00 p.m. in Old Main 223, to discuss the announcement, the handling
of sex abuse claims by the Jesuits and to reflect on how it might affect our
