A Catholic archdiocese in northern Alberta has been linked to a series of alleged sexual assaults dating back to the 1950s by four victims who filed lawsuits this month.

Though the three men and one woman all filed statements of claim against the Catholic Archdiocese of Grouard-McLennan, the allegations span three decades and several members of the archdiocese. All four attended St. Bernard Mission School at the time of the alleged abuse. The four lawsuits total $890,000.
