Lucien Larré

Lucien Larré

Lucien Larré OM (born 1933) is a Canadian Roman Catholic priest. He is the founder of Bosco Homes, a Saskatchewan-based organization operating homes for troubled youth, for which he was honoured by induction into the Order of Canada in 1983. In 1992 he was convicted in Saskatchewan of physically abusing children in his care and he was later pardoned. In 2006 his registration with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia was suspended pending a disciplinary review. The suspension was upheld by the Supreme Court who noted "that there are serious public protection concerns and an immediate risk to the public" [ [http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080704.BCPRIEST04/TPStory/National globeandmail.com: National ] ]

In July 2008, he indicated his intention to return his Order of Canada medal, in protest of the appointment to the order of Dr. Henry Morgentaler.
