Child Protection Policy Revised

"We re-affirm our deep commitment to creating a safe environment within the Church for children and youth." This quote from the USCCB Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People in 2005 identifies the intention of our diocese with the revision of the Diocese of Youngstown Child Protection Policy. Bishop George V. Murry, S.J., has promulgated the Policy, "Treasured Gifts from God," effective June 15, 2008.
The purpose of our Policy is to protect children in our diocese from potential abusers, and to define the diocesan response in cases of alleged or actual abuse.
