Settlement Agreement Regarding “Victimization” by Michael Hahn
In December of 2022, Michael L. Hahn, Br. Dennis Beach O.S.B., Abbot John Klassen O.S.B., and Jennifer Meyer – along with the individual who Abbot John Klassen once described as having been victimized in 2017 by then Rev. Michael Hahn OSB – signed a document to settle a claim that was to be filed in United States Court, District of Minnesota by a former Saint John’s Abbey monk and Saint John’s University student.
After Michael Hahn’s Unwanted Sexual Advances
It has been alleged that the individual identified as a “solemnly professed confrere,” who engaged in conduct characterized as “unwanted sexual advances” toward a junior member of the monastic community, was Reverend Michael‑Leonard Hahn, O.S.B. Said individual presently identifies as Michael Hahn, Ph.D. According to publicly available information on the official website of Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, Dr. Hahn currently serves in the capacity of Assistant Dean within the School of Education and holds the position of Program Director for Character and Virtue Education at the institution.
Stearns County Sheriff Case #24011260
On or around March 8, 2024, this web site received a tip that included the following information:
“If you are still running the site, keep an eye in the news for [Teacher], up until two weeks ago she was a teacher of spanish at St.Johns Prep.”
April, 2013 Letter to Abbot John Klassen (re Licari)
Fr. Licari’s dismissal from the board was due to an alleged incident of sexual misconduct. My recollection, from conversations with you and others, was that Fr. Licari was accused of making inappropriate contact with a minor while he served as pastor at Holy Name Parish in Medina, Minnesota. It is further my understanding that Fr. Licari did not dispute the contact, though (as one would expect) he disputed the intent.
Concerns at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota
On May 21, 2024, a letter detailing concerns at Saint Mary’s University was sent to the Bishop of Winona-Rochester, the Diocese’s Victim Assistance Coordinator and the general counsel for Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota.

What Happened to Joshua Guimond? (The LeSabre)
“I believe that if somebody did something to Joshua that had any connection to the campus whatsoever, we’re never gonna find him, ever. Not even a body. Ever. Because they’re too secretive.” Lisa Cheney (Joshua’s mother) from Unsolved Mysteries said.

Schulte – Letter re Marker on Review Board
Seven years before being outed as a monk perpetrator, Rev. Francisco Schulte wrote an interesting letter to Abbot John Klassen. It seems Schulte was not happy that Patrick Marker was named to the Abbey’s External Review Board.
Koopmann: Poetry and Cockwarmers
“The Koopmann I know likes to get his students drunk and read ejaculate poetry while trying on hand-knit cockwarmers.” – Former SJU Student (February, 2016)
At the time of this incident, Koopmann was a Faculty Resident at St. John’s University.
Rev. Robert Koopmann – Secrets Caught Up
Former St. John’s Abbey monk regarding Rev. Robert Koopmann:
I told you [Koopmann’s] story was yet to be told!! I sent him an email once telling him one day his secrets would be made public and his hypocrisy would do him in. Two weeks later he decided to resign from his position as president of SJU. Still the one guys I know for sure he performed oral sex on in the abbey, who is no longer a monk, will NOT say a word – he’s still very loyal to the order. Even after I tried to persuade him of the damage these men do, he feels he would be a hypocrite to condemn what he so willingly participated in as a monk. – February 13, 2016
Father Brennan Maiers Dies at 86
Father Brennan Maiers was inappropriate with at least six individuals, the youngest victim was believed to be eleven years old. In 1992, the abbey settled with one of Maiers’ victims.
His victims would likely disagree with this line of his obituary:
“Father Brennan was a gentle man of compassion and pastoral alertness.”
