If you are a victim of sexual abuse, please know that our first obligation is to ensure you and your family have a safe and compassionate place to report the abuse and receive essential pastoral care and counseling support. We stand in solidarity with survivors, echoing the profound sorrow of Pope Francis, who said, "words cannot fully express our sorrow for the abuse you suffered and I am profoundly sorry that your innocence was violated by those you trusted." In the spirit of unwavering commitment to protection and accountability, we renew the strong appeal that, as Pope Leo XIV stated, "there can be no tolerance for any form of abuse in the Church."
