Former Christian Brother Paul Dunleavy (89), with an address in Glen Road, Belfast, was found guilty in September of 36 charges of historical sexual abuse against nine boys.
The charges included indecent assault and gross indecency with or towards a child.
The offences were committed between 1964 and 1991 while Dunleavy worked at four schools in Belfast, Newry and Armagh. The victims were aged between seven and 14 at the time.
