Sister resigns from seminary after abuse allegations
A nun has resigned as a faculty member of a seminary in Detroit after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged involving two young adult novices under her charge in the 1970s.
Sister Mary Finn had served in various positions at the Sacred Heart Seminary, including as assistant professor of theology, over 50 years.
In a resignation letter, Sister Mary admitted she had “misused my position of authority as a director of novices in the Home Visitors of Mary (HVM) Order, engaging in inappropriate conduct with two adult novices. I regret that behaviour, have repented of my actions, and sincerely apologise for the harm I have caused.”
