Officials say a priest from France who was accused of sexually abusing Inuit children when he served at the mission in their Canadian Arctic community has died after a long illness. The Oblates of Lacombe Canada and the Oblate Province of France said on Friday that Joannes Rivoire died the day before.
MP Mumilaaq Qaqqaq holds a photo of Joannes Rivoire during a news conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, Thursday, July 8, 2021. The Oblates of Mary Immaculate says Rivoire, a priest accused of sexually abusing Inuit children in Nunavut , died after a long illness, Thursday, April 11, 2024.
“We sincerely regret that,” Thorson wrote. “Rivoire never made himself available and will never face the charges that were laid against him. We further regret that efforts for him to be formally removed as a priest were unsuccessful.”British, French troops march in historic joint parades in London and Paris in a show of solidarityRivoire arrived in Canada in 1959. He stayed in the North until January 1993, when he told superiors he needed to return to France to take care of his elderly parents.
An arrest warrant was issued in 1998 for Rivoire to return to Canada to face at least three charges of sexual abuse. The charges were not pursued.
