A Quebec City man is suing a Catholic community, the Pius X Secular Institute, for nearly $370,000, alleging it failed to protect him from an alleged pedophile.
The suit also contends that Gérald Cyprien Lacroix, a leading figure in the institute — now the archbishop of Quebec and Catholic Primate of Canada — was aware of the alleged abuse but did nothing.
André Lachance, 48, alleges he was sexually assaulted about 80 times on the institute’s grounds by his uncle, Jean-Paul Lachance, who was a lay member of the religious community.
The elder Lachance killed himself in 2014.
