Child and Youth Protection Every Child Bulletin Insert
Every child deserves a safe environment. Ministry to children and young people is a privilege, not a right. The sexual abuse of minors is a crime and a grave sin. In accordance with diocesan policy, when a single act of sexual abuse is admitted or established, the offender is to be removed permanently from ministry. To help hold offenders accountable, report all abuse to local public authorities. You can also contact your local diocesan victim assistance coordinator to make a report and seek outreach for the abused.
