Media Statement Regarding Serious Incidents at St. Michael’s College School

November 16, 2018

St. Michael’s College School in Toronto is the first foundation of the Basilian Fathers in North America. We are deeply saddened and troubled by the events that have come to light over the past days. Our primary concern in all of this situation is the protection of students, young people and vulnerable persons. We are working closely with the school officials and police authorities to establish a timeline of the events of this very sad situation. The school will issue statements when all information has been gathered.
