On October 21, 2011 a judge in Nodaway County, Missouri dismissed Conception Abbey’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought against the Abbey by one of Fr. Bede Parry’s victims.
Fr. Parry was a visiting monk at Saint John’s Abbey from 1979 to 1982 while he took classes at the Saint John’s School of Theology. While on campus, Parry was caught in an inappropriate relationship with at least one student.
Saint John’s Abbey personnel covered up the misconduct.
