Sources tell NY1 the trio were using the convent on the grounds of St. Joseph Hill Academy as a place to smoke and drink early Saturday morning.
It was there that police say Vincent Calder intentionally set the fire.
He now faces multiple charges including arson, criminal mischief and trespassing, all as hate crimes.
Christopher Sasso and Diego Tuso are charged with burglary, criminal mischief and trespassing, but not has hate crimes.
A nun was seriously injured when she jumped from a second story window to escape the flames.
