Br. Gregory Madigan is a member of the Crosier Fathers and Brothers. Br. Madigan allegedly admitted to sexually abusing a minor boy in approximately the 1980s. Br. Madigan also reportedly admitted to sexually abusing other boys and it is believed that he abused at least six boys in the 1960s and 1970s. Following his admission of abuse, the Crosiers sent Br.

When he returned he was reportedly given clerical positions at Crosier facilities in New York, Chicago, and Minnesota. Br.

Since then, three have died and one has left the Crosier Order.” Br. Madigan is believed to be living under restriction in Phoenix, Arizona. His current status as a brother and whether he has access to children are unknown.
