Safe Environment - Crisis Response & Intervention

Any person who has reasonable grounds to suspect that a minor or vulnerable adult in the parish is or has been abused must report that suspicion to appropriate authorities and the Archbishop’s Delegate (or Deputy Delegate) for reporting the alleged abuse of minors. Clergy and parish coordinators have special responsibility to report allegations of serious misconduct and abuse.

  1. Please contact the police or call 911 if an offense has been committed or if a person is in immediate danger.
