Sexual abuse in St. John's archdiocese

This term refers to allegations and proven cases of sexual abuse perpetrated by members of the clergy within the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. These accusations came to light during the broader scandal of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church that emerged in the late 20th century and continue to surface today. Victims have spoken out against the negligence and cover-ups they allege were perpetrated by certain officials within the diocese, including former Archbishops Aloysius M. Penney and Philip F. Pavia, as well as other church authorities. Survivors have demanded accountability, apologies, justice, and compensation from the Church hierarchy.
