The Rev. Thomas Andert, the prior at St. John’s
Abbey in Collegeville, has been removed from his leadership position
following an allegation of student sex abuse.
The
allegation was made in a letter by a former student at St. John’s
Preparatory School, where Andert served as headmaster from 1988 to 1994.
It alleges abuse about three decades ago. The abbey is not providing
details of the complaint.
“We
asked Father Andert to step back from public ministry and from his work
until an investigation is completed,” said abbey spokesman Aelred Senna
in an e-mail.
