There are a number of court dates to post. That will be done by day’s end.
There is also a page with information on Father Jean-Level Elicard added – it is incomplete but you can take a look at it and, if you have any more information, pass it along. It looks as though he left Montreal in 2004? Can someone who is bilingual read that excerpt on him from “Pedophile priests: The escape” – scroll down the page and you’ll find it (Isabelle Hachey, LaPresse, 21 March 2017) Sometimes those google translations are an absolute disaster 🙁 This is one of those cases. I think there is something there about his departure from Montreal in 2004?
Huge headaches getting things posted today 🙁 I finally sorted out the problem, but it gobbled up a lot of time 🙁 🙁
And life goes on….
Enough for now,

So I’ve made a few changes Sylvia:
When the Archdiocese of Montreal hired Jean-Level Éliscard as a hospital chaplain in 2003, it apparently did not know that the priest of Haitian origin had been found guilty eight years earlier of raping a 13-year-old parishioner in New Jersey. The father of the victim had caught the priest lying on his tearful daughter, her dress raised up on her thighs. While a criminal investigation was underway, Jean-Level Éliscard had tried to flee to Haiti, but had been arrested at the last moment at the New York airport. The Archdiocese of Montreal relieved the priest in 2004, after having been contacted by the Dallas Morning News. A spokesman for the archdiocese told the newspaper that Jean-Level Éliscard had been recommended by the Bishop of Cayes, who had failed to reveal the criminal past of the priest to his Montreal colleagues.
Thanks BC. That is MUCH better. I have just replaced that Google translation with yours 🙂
