As a result of the courage of survivors and the lawsuits brought by survivors’ attorneys, numerous lawsuits related to the employment of sexually abusive priests in California, including the Diocese of San Bernardino, were filed. For the first time significant numbers of survivors became plaintiffs in civil lawsuits and their attorneys were able to pry open secret church records using the civil legal process. These lawsuits also resulted in the release and disclosure of the identities and histories of clerical sexual abusers to the public. The Diocese of San Bernardino was named in multiple lawsuits for having employed sexually abusive priests. This report contains the names of clergy associated with the Diocese of San Bernardino, including those of whom were assigned within or working in the Diocese of San Diego within the geographical boundaries now encompassed by the Diocese of San Bernardino, who have been accused of sexual misconduct. While lawsuits were filed involving many of these alleged perpetrators, the vast majority of the claims against these individuals have been settled or have not been fully evaluated in a civil or criminal court. Accordingly, the allegations should be considered just allegations and should not be considered proved or substantiated in a court of law. All individuals should be considered innocent until proven guilty. In some situations, the statute of limitations has expired preventing the cases from being heard in a court of law. It is believed that the Diocese of San Bernardino does not make available to the public the full history, knowledge and context of the sexually abusive clerics within the Diocese. This report is an attempt to compile information already available to the public from various public sources including the public media, bishopaccountability.org, the Diocese’s public statements, and other sources that have attempted to chronicle this information for public use. This report is intended to raise awareness about the important issue of clerical sexual abuse, provide the public with vital information including assignment histories, and provide awareness to survivors. Assignment histories are approximations and were compiled from the Official Catholic Directory, bishopaccountability.org, statements attributed to Church officials, Church records, and media reports. 6 AndersonAdvocates.com • 310.357.2425 Attorney Advertising Jeff Anderson & Associates, P.A. Supporting California Abuse Survivors for Decades Jeff Anderson & Associates pioneered the use of civil litigation to seek justice for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Through its work, Jeff Anderson & Associates seek to bring hope, healing, accountability and justice to survivors of child sexual abuse. The attorneys have advocated for survivor rights in California for years and represented hundreds of survivors when the California State Legislature opened and extended a retroactive window for sexual abuse survivors to file claims. In addition to seeking legal accountability, they have supported survivors of abuse by bringing public awareness to the cause. Jeff Anderson & Associates use legal theories, including public nuisance, to help prevent child sexual abuse and bring awareness to clerical sexual abuse across the country. ATTORNEY JEFF ANDERSON Jeff Anderson first sued enablers of clerical sexual abuse in California as early as 1993 for abuse perpetrated by a Catholic priest associated with the Diocese of San Bernardino, Diocese of San Diego and Servite Order. Since then, his firm and the attorneys who work with him, have been associated with more cases involving sexually abusive clerics than any other law firm in the country. For decades, the attorneys have sued nearly every Catholic diocese and archdiocese in California; the Lutheran Church; the Boy Scouts of America; American Youth Soccer Organization; multiple private schools; and numerous other individuals and institutions in California. ATTORNEY MIKE FINNEGAN Mike Finnegan has worked for over a decade with thousands of courageous survivors of childhood sexual abuse. In addition to an attorney of record in multiple federal lawsuits against the Vatican, Mike has sued numerous dioceses and religious institutions in California. Mike played an integral role in helping survivors in California and resolving hundreds of cases under the 2003 window legislation. Hailing from Minnesota, Mike played a pivotal role in forcing the Catholic bishops in Minnesota to release over 200 names of priest perpetrators to the public and thousands of pages of documents demonstrating the cover-up by top officials. ATTORNEY MIKE RECK Mike Reck’s practice is the representation of survivors against the powerful institutions that covered up the sexual abuse of children. Mike is a California native whose career against institutional abuse has included lawsuits against multiple dioceses and religious orders in California and throughout the country. Mike has been a courtroom figure with trial experience for nearly two decades. Recently, Mike fought for accountability on behalf of survivors in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles; several dioceses in New York, including the Diocese of Buffalo and the Archdiocese of New York; the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and numerous other religious institutions and Catholic dioceses in the states of Hawaii, Connecticut, New York, Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

The data reveals the horrifying scale of priests sexually assaulting minors from early history when the Diocese of San Bernardino was included within the Diocese of San Diego to the present day. The data collected suggests the patterns and practices of Church officials, including the orchestrating of an institutional cover-up of an enormous magnitude. Perhaps most shocking among the discoveries is that some perpetrators were intentionally transferred and retained in trusted positions with direct access to children even when they were known to be abusers. Modern means of analysis and availability of data through the Internet and social media is exposing perpetrators who operated in this Diocese, but until full transparency and accountability exist, children remain in grave danger. Historically, the Diocese of San Bernardino, like many other dioceses and archdioceses, knew priests were perpetrators that posed a significant danger to children. The sexual abuse of children has long been a crime in California. However, Church officials chose and continue to keep these crimes hidden, allowing its priests continued and unfettered access to children. During the 1980s and 1990s, occasional bits of information about clerical abuse would surface, but the Church’s strict policy of secrecy kept most of the information and full extent of the problem hidden from the public. This has continued despite mandated reporting laws. The civil window in 2003 subjected the Diocese of San Bernardino to additional scrutiny that it had never previously faced. This window was one short year. During this time survivors brought claims against the Diocese for abuse by clerics and lay employees of the Diocese. For the first time, a significant number of survivors became plaintiffs in civil lawsuits and their attorneys were able to pry open secret Church records using subpoenas and court orders. History of the Diocese of San Bernardino The Diocese of San Bernardino comprises San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Historically included in the Diocese of San Diego, the Diocese of San Bernardino was established as an independent diocese by the Holy See in 1978. On this date, all priests living in the boundaries of San Bernardino County were officially made priests of the new diocese. Since that time, the Diocese of San Bernardino has only been governed by two bishops. Bishop Phillip Francis Straling Bishop of the Diocese of San Bernardino July 18, 1978 – June 2, 1995 AndersonAdvocates.com • 310.357.2425 Attorney Advertising Bishop Gerald Richard Barnes Bishop of the Diocese of San Bernardino December 28, 1995 – Present 9 San Bernardino Functioned as a Dumping Ground for Problem Priests The Diocese of San Bernardino has and continues to suffer from a shortage of diocesan priests. In order to staff its churches, schools, and other facilities, the Diocese depends on an influx of priests from religious orders and other dioceses. According to the Official Catholic Directory, in 2018 over 75% of the priests assigned in the Diocese of San Bernardino were not diocesan priests. The majority of the priests were members of religious orders (Jesuits, Franciscans, etc.) and extern priests from other dioceses. This created a dangerous dynamic that allowed the Diocese to function as a dumping ground. Even before the Diocese of San Bernardino separated from the Diocese of San Diego, the Bishop complained of this problem, particularly in the Banning and Beaumont communities. In 1950, the Bishop wrote to a Church official in Rome and complained that the Franciscan Fathers “used this Diocese as a dumping ground for their moral, mental and physical problems.” He demanded the withdrawal of “one misfit after another.” 1 A Facility for Housing and Treating Sexually Abusive Priests was Created in The Diocese of San Bernardino Vatican officials authorized a religious order of priests known as the Servants of the Paraclete to operate treatment centers for sexually abusive priests throughout the world. One such facility was located in Cherry Valley within the Diocese of San Bernardino. Church documents refer to this facility as a halfway house for priests requiring aftercare and ongoing spiritual, psychotherapeutic and pastoral supervision. This facility was staffed by the Servants of the Paraclete under the authority of Bishop Phillip Francis Straling. The full extent of how many predatory priests were housed at this facility and exposed to the communities within the Diocese of San Bernardino is known only to Church officials. Church Experts in Sexually Abusive Priests were Given High Positions in the Diocese of San Bernardino The worldwide leader of the Servants of the Paraclete is Father David T. Fitzgerald, s.P. His position is referred to as the Servant General and he governs all priests of the organization. He began his career in the Diocese of Brooklyn, New York and subsequently transferred to the Servants where he was assigned to work in San Bernardino and served as a high ranking Diocesan official in the Diocese of San Bernardino as the Vicar for Priests. 1 10 Source: Official Catholic Directory.
