He puts the number of still-living Lundowski victims who are part of the lawsuit at 59. Lundowski targeted Native boys as he traveled from spot to spot with the Rev. George Endal, Roosa said. Endal was a priest who was accused of knowing what Lundowski and another volunteer did, and of abusing children himself. He's dead as well. Endal's complicity was critical to the settlements involving the predatory missionary since Lundowski wasn't a Jesuit, Roosa said. Lundowski gave communion, said the rosary and preyed on boys in his catechism class, Niksik and Kobuk said.
