    Safeguarding the Vulnerable: Why Canadian Churches Must Prioritize Abuse Prevention

    May 9, 2025

    In recent years, the Canadian Church has come under increased scrutiny regarding its response to allegations of child abuse and clergy sexual misconduct. These incidents are not only morally reprehensible and spiritually devastating—they also carry serious legal and financial implications. Churches are entrusted with the care of the most vulnerable among us. To honour that trust and walk in obedience to Christ, it is imperative that churches in Canada implement strong safeguarding protocols.

    A Sobering Case Study

    Consider the case of Father Brian Boucher in Montréal, Québec. In 2019, Boucher was sentenced to eight years in prison for sexually abusing boys over a span of 20 years. Reports indicated that concerns had been raised to church authorities on multiple occasions, but no decisive action was taken until many years later. The case not only highlighted failures in internal accountability but also underscored the lifelong trauma victims suffer. Civil lawsuits followed, and the Church’s credibility was severely damaged. This is just one of many examples where the absence of proper safeguards allowed abuse to persist unchecked.
