both from Lynne Moss-Sharmann Priest's sordid past shocks parish - Father Houston was declared dangerous sexual offender, sent to prison in 1962 Ed Struzik, Journal Staff Writer Edmonton Journal "A Catholic priest who was at the centre of a residential school sexual abuse scandal 40 years ago has offered his resignation to the Archbishop of St. Boniface in Manitoba....Before he became a priest, Houston was a supervisor at Grollier Hall, a residential dormitory in Inuvik between 1960-1962. Following a preliminary hearing in 1962, he pleaded guilty to several counts of buggery and gross sexual indecency involving five aboriginal school students....Against recommendations from Catholic officials in Edmonton and in the Northwest Territories, the Archbishop of St. Boniface in Manitoba sponsored Houston's application to become a priest. Ordained in 1990, Houston was first appointed to be the parish priest of Lac du Bonnet in Manitoba before complaints from parishioners there resulted in his move to Carman five years ago.....The council told the Archbishop that Houston has struggled in his role as parish priest. "These struggles relate to emotional instability, aggressive outbursts, inappropriate speech contained in his sermons, and insulting remarks directed to a variety of parishioners both inside and outside the Church.".... Many parishioners say it is clear that Houston is unable to perform his priestly duties and needs medical care. But they wonder whether he will get the help they say he needs given the silence from the diocese. http://www.canada.com/search/site/story.asp?id=DAFE6220-2373-451B-81C0-B8F8F4E A42F5 Excavation at former priest's home - Mark Martin, Kevin Fagan and Jaxon Van Derbeken, Chronicle Staff Writers - 6/6/02 "Bay Area police agencies resumed their search today of the vacation home of a defrocked Catholic priest to see if he had any connection to the disappearance of four missing Northern California girls -- including Pinole's Amber Swartz. Using cadaver-sniffing dogs and a backhoe, authorities searched the property around the 1,600-square-foot home of accused child molester Stephen Kiesle, 55, for any signs of human remains." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2002/06/06/MN83734.DTL <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
