Welcome

New PILOT Platform initiative

As you know, our office is dedicated to protecting all of God's children by fully implementing Article 12 of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, which was adopted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2002.

Our Office of Safeguard the Children provides continuous support, education, training, and resources to prevent child sexual abuse and ensure the safety of children in our parishes, schools, homes, and communities. With this commitment in mind, I wanted to share a few upcoming submissions and deadlines that are critical to our mission:

1. **2025 Mandatory USCCB Safe Environment Parish Audit Report**
   1. **Deadline:** Friday, April 25, 2025

Please make sure that you are aware of these deadlines and prepare accordingly. Your cooperation and dedication are essential in helping us protect and empower our children and young people. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your attention to these matters and for your continued support in safeguarding our children.
