but the abbey was used as place where "troubled" priests and brothers were sent for counseling. This includes ones who were sent there after being caught molesting children in their parishes.

There have also been accusations against the monks who taught at St. John's prep school and the Abbey did turn their records about them over to investigators in the last few years.

This is a link to a story WCCO ran about it in 2011 though it only mentions those who taught at the school.
