John Michael Sherlock (January 20, 1926 – August 12, 2019)[1] was a Canadian bishop.
He was the Roman Catholic Bishop of London, Ontario, from July 8, 1978, to April 27, 2002.
He was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and raised in Brantford, Ontario.
He became the head of the Diocese of London in 1978 - a district that includes over 130 parishes from Windsor to Huron County, with approximately 440,000 parishioners.
Bishop John Sherlock's tenure was riddled with clergy sexual abuse scandals, which shone a harsh spotlight on the prevalence of historical sexual abuse within the Diocese of London.
