Greetings!
As we continue to celebrate the season of Easter, we are joyfully reminded of the sure hope and promise of eternal life that our Savior, Jesus Christ, has won for us through His death and resurrection. He reveals our true identity as sons and daughters of the living Christ. And through our celebration as Easter people, we recognize the living Christ in each other.
We are a people blessed — faculty and staff, students, parents, alumni and friends — all who have found membership in the CJ community — each learning ways to love and serve God and others, while encouraging each other along the way. As a community, we strive to create a loving and safe environment that allows our students and each of us to discover and live out God’s call.
Through employee faith formation, faith sharing, expressions of our faith and service, and various training on issues of care and safety, adults in our community are actively engaged in faith formation for our students, through teaching and by example. In issues of care and safety, we share information we have with parents as we engage in new training, new methods and new policies. We continue to be grateful for the feedback we receive from parents and for the trust you have placed in us.
Our Church, including religious communities like the Marianists and the Sisters, are continuing to consider how they can fully address the issue of abuse from the past. We must react, in concert with our founders and the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, as information is revealed about perpetrators and those who shielded them.

Opening Letter —
Continued
In recent months, reporters from the
Dayton Daily News
made inquiries of Chaminade Julienne, the University of Dayton, and the Marianist Province of the United States (one of the owners and sponsors of CJ and the owner of the University of Dayton) regarding the Marianists’ response to allegations of abuse from the past. As you might recall, in August 2018, the newspaper reported on several Marianists about whom credible claims of abuse had been made dating from their time of service at a school in Pennsylvania. Some of these Marianists were assigned to Chaminade High School and the University of Dayton in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, but no claims about their behavior were made from their time of service at either institution. We shared this information with you at the time, and reiterated all that CJ has been doing since the late 1990s to protect students and our community. (See
this link
to our website for more information.)
Chaminade Julienne, the Marianists, and the University of Dayton have all responded to these requests for information. While we are frustrated by the continuing attention paid to matters already reported, we have reluctantly cooperated with this upcoming story in the interest of being as transparent to the greater community as possible. Because these situations occurred years ago and reflect decisions made by our predecessors in leadership positions, we have little additional information to add, other than reiterating our rigorous approach to creating a safe learning environment.
As you know, we believe it is our sacred duty to our students, their families, and our community to be vigilant in our efforts, awareness, and, if necessary, our response. Should there ever be a report of misconduct, we will take immediate action in accord with our policies to protect our community and have civil authorities investigate the matter.
All of us who are stewards of the Chaminade Julienne mission and legacy are saddened and angered by the actions of those in the past who perpetrated such horrible acts and those who allowed such abuse to continue. We grieve with victims and their families, and continue to pray for the healing of those impacted and for the healing of our Church. We especially ask for all, the abundance of God’s blessing, healing, hope and peace during this season of Easter.
Should you have questions about any issues of care or safety, I invite you to review information found on our website or call me directly. As always, may God bless you and your family in great abundance.
