Sexual Abuse Allegations
Moreau has had faculty who have been accused of sexually abusing students, as part of the nationwide sexual abuse scandal. Five ex-members of staff, including a Chaplain and two members of the clergy, have been named in regard to child sexual abuse allegations that are said to have occurred in the 1970s.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops policy of 2002, since reaffirmed, has led to major reforms in the Church. The Diocese of Oakland continues its outreach, and has established policies for all schools, including Moreau Catholic, to follow.

Famous quotes containing the word abuse:
“When a family is free of abuse and oppression, it can be the place where we share our deepest secrets and stand the most exposed, a place where we learn to feel distinct without being “better,” and sacrifice for others without losing ourselves.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
