This archive of historical material includes content that reflects the values, beliefs and social norms of the past, which may differ greatly from contemporary perspectives. It also includes material that refers, including in a praiseworthy manner, to persons who we now know to have committed acts of abuse while working at, or serving as part of the Spiritan Community in, St. Mary’s College.
While we acknowledge that some readers may find such material distressing, we trust that by preserving the original content, the archive will allow readers to engage with history in its full complexity, including its positive and its uncomfortable or disturbing aspects.
We reiterate our solidarity with past pupils who were the subject of abuse while attending St. Mary’s College. Our full statement of solidarity for survivors, along with information on sources of professional assistance, is available here: https://stmarysppu.com/pages/solidarity .
