Kevin Peter John Healy, known as Brother Gordon when he was teaching, initially denied the charges and unsuccessfully sought a stay of the prosecution because of his age and failing health.
In February he pleaded guilty to five charges relating to a brother and sister - and another boy.
The girl was 8 or 9 and the boys were 12 and 13 at the time of the offending in 1976 and 1977.
