Xaverian Missionaries Protecting Young People

Contact Fr. Carl Chudy for More Information

Since the promulgation of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People and the Essential Norms in 2002, and their revisions up to the present, the Catholic Church of the United States has taken enormous steps in preventing the abuse of minors, by carefully screening candidates, dealing promptly and responsibly to incidents and allegations of abuse, and the important ongoing education of our priests and religious.

The Accountability of Bishops

Bishops also will be held accountable under the authority of this Motu Proprio, which covers sexual abuse of minors or vulnerable persons, sexual acts compelled through the abuse of authority, and any coverup of such crimes.

This service has been created to gather and relay reports of sexual misconduct involving bishops of the United States and reports of their intentional interference in a sexual abuse investigation. If you wish to report any other kind of misconduct by a bishop, please contact your local diocese or eparchy instead. You may find the site here.

Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, CSsR shares his experience of accompaniment of abuse survivors.

The Policy of the Xaverian Missionaries

Based on the Instruments of Hope and Healing developed by religious men’s congregations across the country, we have our own unique policies and procedures for the prevention of abuse which we implement and update every three years. Please write the Delegate Superior or the Outreach Coordinator if you would like to have a copy.
