Just how serious is the situation of Bro. Raimond Rose sexually molesting students? So far, 19 former students of Bro. Rose have reported that they have been sexually abused by Bro. Rose. These students go as far back as 1966 at DeLaSalle High School in Minneapolis, continuing to Cretin High School in St. Paul, then to the Dunrovin Retreat Center, Pacelli High School in Stevens Point Wisconsin, Shanley High School in Fargo North Dakota, DeLaSalle High School in Concord California and then to the Minnesota Department of Corrections Juvenile Detention Facility in Red Wing Minnesota.
Yesterday, I joined with another courageous former Shanley student in filing the 19th lawsuit involving Bro. Rose. In this case, in what has turned out to be foreshadowing of sorts, Bro. Rose took Shanley student Kevin Price to visit juvenile detention facilities in Western North Dakota. During these trips Bro. Rose sexually abused Kevin after getting him intoxicated. We now know that a few years later, after multiple reports of sexual abuse of students, the Christian Brothers allowed Bro. Rose to work in juvenile detention facilities where he sexually abused the kids there. It is difficult to believe that there wasn’t a very calculated and sinister aspect of Bro. Rose seeking work in juvenile detention facilities as far back as the late 1970’s when he visited some facilities with Kevin Price. This is a very dark path for a very dark perpetrator working for a very dark religious order. Will Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and California ever recover from the wide swath cut by Bro. Rose and the Christian Brothers? How many more were sexually abused who have not come forward? What can these communities do to recover from the widespread sexual abuse of their children?

Raimond Rose has not been held accountable for his crimes. Why not?
ReplyDeleteYou can add Louisiana to your list of states. Brother Raimond Rose was a teacher at Archbishop Rummel High School in Metairie Louisiana during the early 70's (1972 - 1976).
ReplyDeleteBrother Raimond Rose took 3 high-school age students on a trip from New Orleans to Minneapolis during Mardi Gras in 1976. Two of the boys were brothers and attended Archbishop Rummel.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely heinous crimes. I am appalled. I actually lived with this individual in "community" in the Twin Cities. I was being evaluated as a "candidate" for final vows. In short, I was to become more like the brothers in commmunity and be a servant to those I encountered in my ministry. As a matter of fact I did an excellent job of serving others. And, there are many Christian Brothers who are exemplary servants. But not Mr. Rose. I was shocked when I first read this and remain so today. I can only wonder what current religous leadership among the Christian Brothers is doing to make sure this never happens again.
