The verdict in the sex abuse trial of previously-convicted Oblate ex-priest Eric Dejaeger will be rendered tomorrow (Friday 12 September) in the Iqaluit courthouse, Nunavut. Please keep Dejaeger’s many many victims in your prayers as they await the decision, and after. Let’s hope and pray that justice is done.
Dejaeger also has a courtdate set for Edmonton, Alberta tomorrow “to set a date,” I have a feeling those Edmonton charges may surface in the Nunavut courtroom tomorrow and be lumped in with the others. I truly do hope I am mistaken.
Please post links to any media coverage re: the verdict.

Earlier today I posted a letter from the Headmaster at St. Mary’s International School (SMIS) to alumni regarding child molester Brother Lawrence: here it is:
11 September 2014: Kagei letter Alumni Letter acknowledging he knew of Brother Lawrence apology January 2014 and victim came forward May 2013
Wonder why it has taken so long to get Brother Lawrence away from the schools and out of Japan? And, the big question: Where is this molester now? In Canada? Nestled away with Brother John in Quebec?
Many questions must be both asked and answered regarding the sex abuse and coverup at SMIS.
Enough for now,
Sylvia
Guilty of 24 out of 68.
