April 10, 2024

By Paul Feely

The Diocese of Manchester has added three names to its online list of dozens of priests credibly accused of child sexual abuse going back to 1950, church officials announced this week.

The three new entries represent the first additions to the Diocese’s Restoring Trust website since it was launched in 2019, a spokesperson for the Diocese said.

The Restoring Trust website provides the year each priest was ordained, his parish assignments and his status, which ranges from criminal conviction to being defrocked to “assigned to a life of prayer and penance.”

The list includes 76 names of priests, 51 of whom are dead. Most of the referenced cases have been concluded. Two are listed as pending.

The information and additional resources are available at  catholicnh.org/restoringtrust .

The Rev. George Desjardins has been added under the category “Cases Concluded” for a recently received report of abuse that took place more than 40 years ago, officials said. Desjardins, who has has been retired since 2002, is prohibited from ministry.

Desjardins served at St. Peter, Farmington (beginning May 29, 1959); St. Anthony, Manchester (June 12, 1959); Sacred Heart, Lebanon (Sept. 7, 1966); St. John the Baptist, Manchester (Oct. 4, 1968); Holy Redeemer, West Lebanon (April 2, 1973); Sacred Heart, Manchester (April 23, 1974); St. George, Manchester (June 20, 1985). After retirement in 2002, though not assigned by the diocesan bishop, he is reported to have assisted at Sacred Heart Parish, Concord; St. John the Evangelist Parish, Concord, and St. John Regional School, Concord.

The Rev. Matthew Schultz has been listed on the Manchester diocese’s website under the category “Cases in Process” — these are cases involving living Diocesan priests for which the canonical proceedings are not complete. Schultz is prohibited from ministry.

“Out of respect for those involved and because the case is still in process, no further information will be disclosed at this time,” the Diocese said in a statement.

Schultz was assigned to St. Michael, Exeter (beginning June 21, 2017); Gate of Heaven, Lancaster (June 27, 2018); Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, Rochester (July 13, 2022); and St. Leo, Gonic (July 13, 2022). Although not assigned by the diocesan bishop, he is reported to have assisted at Mount Royal Academy North in Lancaster.

The Rev. André Thibodeau has been listed on the diocese as a deceased priest accused of sexual abuse of a minor for a report received after his death. He died in 2015.

Ordained in 1971, Thibodeau was assigned to St. Paul, Franklin (beginning June 8, 1971); St. Mary, Manchester (June 11, 1975); St. Augustine, Manchester (March 10, 1976); Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Manchester (March 29, 1982); St. Theresa, Henniker (Jan. 15, 1987); St. Mary, Hillsboro (June 21, 2000); and as chaplain at St. Teresa Rehabilitation and Nursing Center (June 2, 2008).

“Law enforcement has been notified of the reports concerning all three priests,” the Diocese said in a statement. “Whenever it becomes aware of a report of sexual abuse of a minor by a priest, deacon, diocesan employee, or volunteer, the Diocese ensures that the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office is notified, even if the misconduct took place many years ago.”

The Diocese said it strives to keep children safe in its parishes, schools, and camps, completing more than 30,000 safe environment training and background checks on adults since 2001.

In March, the Diocese of Manchester agreed to settle a claim of child sexual abuse from the 1970s against a former priest.

Attorney Mitchell Garabedian said his client, whom he referred to as a “courageous childhood clergy sexual abuse victim,” settled a claim with Diocese “in the low six figures” through a settlement program.

According to Garabedian, the man was sexually abused when he was about 15 or 16 by the Rev. Alfred L. Jannetta, when the priest was assigned to St. Paul’s Church in Franklin around 1973 and 1974.

Garabedian said no lawsuit was filed because the statute of limitations had expired on the alleged abuse.

Jannetta died Dec. 22, 2005, after a lengthy illness. He was 64.

Garabedian said the victim also was sexually abused “numerous times” at age 8 by an unidentified priest while attending a two-week session at Camp Fatima in Gilmanton Iron Works.

Draft rumor BS meter + Xavier Worthy: does WR speed matter? | Inside Coverage

Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to dive into the how and why of the biggest news around the league this week. The trio start with the news of O.J. Simpson's passing and why it's hard to put a bow on his story and legacy. Rashee Rice has a warrant out for his arrest, and Charles thinks the league could be looking to issue a suspension. In other news, Jacksonville Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen received a massive contract extension, as the Jaguars are betting Allen can be a perennial DPOY candidate. Jori is writing a piece on WR draft prospect Xavier Worthy, who broke the 40-yard dash record, so the trio discuss the how the value of speed has changed among evaluators over the past few decades. Many call for GPS data to replace 40 testing, but the technology is not standardized among all schools, which presents the question of how the NFL will go about enforcing standardization of GPS tracking. The hosts finish out the show by getting to the bottom of some rumors circling around the 2024 NFL Draft by determining which to believe, and which are bologna. They discuss Drake Maye, Malik Nabers, JJ McCarthy, Jayden Daniels and Jim Harbaugh.

Priest Assignments Announced as Part of Beacons of Light

The assignment plan for the priests in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati is complete. The complete list of assignments is available at BeaconsAOC.org. Assignments include the pastors and parochial vicars for the Families of Parishes that were announced in December 2021.  The priest assignments will take effect July 1, 2022, upon the implementation of Families of Parishes.

This announcement is the culmination of the Priests’ Personnel Board’s many months of discernment and work. This process included input from each priest regarding his own desires, skills and (where applicable) retirement plans; an assessment of each Family of Parishes and its priest staffing and pastoral leadership needs; and a prayerful determination of best fit between priest candidates and the various Families. Recommended assignments were then submitted to Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr for his evaluation and acceptance. Regarding those Families of Parishes to be staffed by religious order priests, each order followed its own internal discernment process in recommending their priest(s). These recommendations were accepted by Archbishop Schnurr.

The assignments announcement aids leaders who are preparing for the implementation of Families of Parishes.  The first six months of 2022 is a preparatory period with trainings, workshops, and resources for priests, deacons and parish staffs. Some of this work has included:

• Beacons Roundtable Meetings: Monthly webinar series for parish leaders across the archdiocese that includes an overview of the Pastoral Planning Pathway and presentations on the Guiding Principles.
• Pastoral Planning Pathway: Fleshing out the five phases of the six principles that will guide each Family of Parishes on the path to becoming an evangelizing Beacon of Light. This work includes building a digital platform to assist Families of Parishes in the work of each phase of Beacons of Light. This platform will be aimed at assisting Families in creating their individual pastoral plans
• Liaisons: Identifying and training “liaisons” who are faithful Catholics with organizational leadership experience – who will work to assist Families of Parishes in their pastoral planning.
• Priest Formation & Training: Three important in-person conferences are planned for priests: Dan Cellucci, Executive Director of the Catholic Leadership Institute, will speak about priestly ministry and parish life in a time of chaos; Father Donald Senior will speak on the role of administrative services in priestly life; and Father James Mallon will speak on the Divine Renovation process.
• Lay Parish Leaders Formation & Training: Events planned in the spring for lay parish leaders, include a building skills workshop and a one-day retreat offered in four different locations around the archdiocese.
• Journeying Together Study Guide and Videos: These resources will help parish teams understand and reflect on the theological foundations of Beacons of Light.

More information about Beacons of Light, including frequently asked questions and downloadable resources are available at BeaconsAOC.org. A review of information from previous press releases regarding Beacons of Light:

Why is Beacons of Light happening?

• The status quo is no longer an option. At this point a comprehensive pastoral planning process is a necessity in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to garner stability and position the diocese for growth.
• Our resources are largely consumed by efforts to maintain the status quo and are spread too thin to be truly effective. In particular, our priests are stretched to the limit, and we will have fewer priests who can serve as pastors over the coming years. The number of archdiocesan priests available for assignment is projected to decline by approximately 20% over the next five years.
• Religious practice has been declining in both the United States and in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. From 2010 to 2019, sacramental practice (including baptisms, first communions, confirmations and weddings) in the archdiocese declined by 23%.
• Our current infrastructure and schedules were built for a different era. In many cases, our church buildings are grossly underutilized. In the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the average Sunday Mass is about one-third full.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati is the 44 th largest Catholic diocese in the country, with more than 450,000 Catholics, and has the fifth largest Catholic school system in terms of enrollment with more than 40,000 students.  The 19-county territory includes 211 parishes and 111 Catholic primary and secondary schools.
