    Chapter 19 Fr Jovito*1

    Chapter 19 Fr Jovito*1 Introduction 19.1 In 1995 Archbishop Connell wrote that Fr Jovito “is a confirmed paedophile. He was ordained in 1978, but even before his ordination – as it subsequently appeared – he was engaged in paedophiliac activities with minors”. 19.2 Fr Jovito is probably the most notorious child sexual abuser to have come to the attention of the Commission. The Commission is aware of more than 40 named people who have complained of child sexual abuse by him. He has admitted to abusing many others; while he may not use the term ‘child sexual abuse’, he has admitted to using children for sexual gratification once a fortnight over an eight-year period. That constitutes child sexual abuse. He claims he did not abuse after that eight year period but the evidence suggests that he continued in a similar pattern. His pattern of behaviour is such that it is likely that he has abused hundreds of children. He was convicted in respect of seven complainants. Civil settlements have been reached with 21 complainants. He was laicised in 1995 and is currently living in Dublin. 19.3 Fr Jovito was born in 1954. He was ordained in 1978. The earliest allegations against him predate his ordination. He himself has admitted that he abused before he was ordained but most of the complaints about his activities prior to 1978 did not surface until many years later. It is known that during his time as a seminarian he had a key to the house of another well known abuser, Fr Noel Reynolds (see Chapter 35), and it is alleged that some of the abuse took place in that house.

    Chapter 11 Introduction to Investigation of the 46 Priests

    Chapter 11 Introduction to investigation of the 46 priests Selecting the representative sample 11.1 The Commission received information about complaints, suspicions or knowledge of child sexual abuse in respect of 172 named priests and 11 unnamed priests. (Some or all of the 11 unnamed priests may, of course, be included in the 172 named priests.) After a preliminary examination, the Commission concluded that 102 of these priests were within remit. Of those priests who were not within the Commission‟s terms of reference, two main reasons for their exclusion were identified: the complaint was made outside the time period 1975 – 2004; the priest was not operating under the aegis of the Archdiocese of Dublin at the time of the alleged abuse. The priests in question here were mainly priests belonging to religious orders and societies who were working in Dublin but not on behalf of the Archdiocese. 11.2 The Commission decided that the only realistic way in which it could select and report on a representative sample of those complaints and suspicions was to select a representative sample of the priests concerned. Otherwise, the Commission may have had to investigate every priest within remit. The representative sample was chosen from the group of 102 priests who were within remit. The Commission took the view that it was impractical to make two separate samples for those against whom complaints were made and those about whom there were suspicions or concerns. Almost invariably, there were suspicions or concerns expressed about those against whom complaints were made. There was a very small number of priests about whom suspicions or concerns were expressed but about whom no actual complaints were made.

Alice and her colleagues at Trust work hands on in the front line, providing human contact and health care to those who have become homeless, the most marginalised in Irish society. Alice considers that hands on approach to be Trust’s greatest strength, believing that “it gives us the motivation to continue to challenge the bureaucracy that is stifling the initiative of others in front line care who try the put people first.” As Alice says, “My work over the years on the margins of Irish society would not have been possible without the support of people in many walks of life. This is highlighted by the diversity of people who generously gave of their time to produce some thought provoking and in some cases provocative pieces for this book – a book we hope may help us to be a little more understanding of those who are different.” With Trust in Place: Writing from the Outside published by TownHouse Dublin and available in bookshops at €12-99.

The delegates, who come from 20 European Countries, are the National Co-ordinators for Vocations Ministry in their own countries. This annual conference presents an opportunity for them to exchange information, and to share ideas on how a truly vocational culture can be developed within the Church. A total of 56 delegates will participate in the Conference, including lay people, priests, and religious. Among the countries represented are Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Hungary, Slovenia, Poland, Switzerland, and all the countries of the European Union The Conference was inaugurated by Bishop Alois Kothgasser of Innsbruck, who is the delegate of the Committee of European Bishops’ Conferences. Cardinal Connell was the principal celebrant at the opening Mass on Friday celebrant at the opening Mass was Cardinal Connell. The Apostolic Nuncio, Dr. Giuseppe Lazzarotto was among the concelebrants. On Friday morning, Bishop Martin Drennan, (auxiliary bishop in Dublin) addressed the delegates on The call to Discipleship in the New Testament, a model for Vocations Ministry. Among the more important qualities that vocations personnel should look for in candidates for the priesthood and religious life, Bishop Drennan included a healthy acceptance of self, the capacity to get on with people, a desire for this way of life which has been felt over a length of time, a desire to pray, and a willingness to make sacrifices. “The two pillars of growth in discipleship,” Bishop Drennan said, “are knowledge of Jesus, and knowledge of self.
