Viatorian priest Father Ronald Lger has a court-date tomorrow in Winnipeg, Manitoba:

13 July 2015:  10 am, courtroom #303, Winnipeg Provincial courthouse (408 York Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba )

Father Leger, native of the Cornwall, Ontario area and who both attended and taught at the Cornwall Classical College and later founded a teen drop-in centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was  charged January 2015 with three counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference.  Two of the charges date to the 1980s and two date to late 2002 to late 2004.

Please pass on news or links of the outcome, and, as always, please keep the complainants in your prayers.

Enough for now,

Sylvia

    Fr. Ronald Leger has pleaded guilty in Winnipeg court Monday to three sex assault charges and one charge of sexual interference. He remains out on bail and will be sentenced early next week and his name added to the national sex offender registry.

    Thanks so much jav. I have posted both articles plus two others.

    As I said elsewhere. Father Legger has been stripped of his priestly faculties in the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface. He has not been defrocked. The media often think that being stripped of faculties etc is the same as being defrocked. Not at all. A priest can be stripped of his faculties in one diocese and still be granted faculties in another diocese: he may be unable to say Mass or hear confessions in the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface, but he is still a priest in the Roman Catholic Church.
