On Nov. 2 2018, Archbishop Gregory Aymond released a pastoral letter regarding clergy sex abuse within the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Along with the letter, Aymond released a list of “the names of Archdiocesan clergy (priests and deacons) who have been removed from ministry for an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor.”

Aymond said that he felt the list was a step forward towards healing within the city.

“I believe it is the right thing to do in order to foster the healing of victims, in a spirit of transparency, and in the pursuit of justice. Jesus reminds us, “The truth will set you free” (John 8:32),” he said.

A staff of more than 10 people, which also included outside legal staff, reviewed the filed of the 2,432 priests that has served in the Archdiocese since 1950. The list includes 57 clergymen that have been accused of sexual abuse.

“We have done our very best to make this report as accurate and complete as possible. If anyone wishes to raise a question about someone not on the list, I invite you to come forward,” Aymond said. “For our sins of the past, we ask for your forgiveness and the mercy of God. Our sin is public and it calls us as church leaders to repentance in order that our church can experience renewal.”

Below is the full 2018 Clergy Report Regarding Abuse list.

The names of Archdiocese of New Orleans clergy who are alive and have been accused of sexually abusing a minor which led to their removal from ministry. In each case, the cleric remains out of ministry.
