Diocese Settles Lawsuit

Pembroke family to get $2,000.

A family from Pembroke has settled its lawsuit against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester, according to the Associated Press.

The parents accused a priest, The Rev. George Desjardins, of making inappropriate comments to their teenage son, a St. John Regional School student, during confession.

A spokesman for the diocese said the family would get $2,000 and the settlement was not an admission of guilt.
