Father Lajoie Investigation To Conclude Friday
Written by Jeremy Zafran on 16 February 2022
The investigation into allegations of sexual abuse against the late Father Leon Lajoie will conclude on Friday, February 25th. Once the investigation is completed, the MCK has been informed a final report to the community should be expected sometime in March. The investigation firm was appointed and is funded by the Jesuit Order of Canada. This investigation is separate from the Community Consultation questionnaire undertaken by the MCK on the same topic in November 2021. Further information on that process will be issued next week.
Father Lajoie was a priest and, later, the long-time pastor for the St. Francis Xavier Mission in Kahnawà:ke. He retired in the mid-1990’s and passed away in 1999.
