He was arrested by Rockingham Detectives and charged with two counts of indecent treatment of a child under 14 years of age.
The man is due to appear in Perth Magistrates Court on July 29.
In a statement, the Marist Brothers’ Province of Australia said the allegations were serious and appropriately before the courts.
