Several Monks from Saint John's Abbey
Saint John’s Abbey is home to at least three pedophiles and dozens of sexual predators. Abbot John Klassen and Fr. Rene McGraw have each referred to the “crimes” committed in Collegeville. Fr. Dan Ward has used canon law to protect the Abbey at all costs – without regard for the well-being of victims.

Despite their deep knowledge of those crimes, Klassen, McGraw and Ward (along with other members of the monastic community) have done their best to keep the real history of abuse and misconduct out of the public eye.
This web site was created to do just the opposite.
