St. Norbert Abbey has released a list of 22 names of clergy identified with credible allegations of sexual abuse of minors.

"In the spirit of accountability, I have decided to release these names from St. Norbert Abbey," said Right Rev. Dane Radecki, in a letter posted at www.norbertineresponse.org. "My hope is that the ‘release of names’ will assist in the healing process for victims and survivors. I profoundly apologize and ask forgiveness from those abused by the Norbertines of our Abbey."

The list of credible allegations will be updated if new credible allegations are made and confirmed, Radecki said.

"As we move forward, we hope to be transparent and honest about the failings that have occurred through members of our Abbey," he said.
