Honoring our Commitment to Parents<\/h1>

A single incident of sexual abuse is one too many.<\/h3>

Unfortunately, the Catholic Church has heard from victims across the country who have been sexually abused by clergy members. The Archdiocese of Omaha was not immune to this evil.

\r\nEvery single one of us in the archdiocese is invited and highly encouraged to make a commitment to our children to protect their wellbeing. We are called to be ambassadors for Christ. It is up to all of us to care and protect the most vulnerable among us.

\r\n\r\n\u201cSo we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us.\u201d (2 Cor 5:20a)\r\n

\r\nAll clergy, employees, volunteers and trusted adults are ambassadors to ensure a safe environment for all.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t

Honoring our Community<\/h1>

The sad truth is abuse can happen anywhere.<\/h3>

It is a societal issue. It\u2019s our responsibility to ensure that all children, everywhere, are protected and safe.\r\n

\r\nAbuse won\u2019t end unless we are all trained to recognize the signs, empowered to protect victims, and courageous enough to stop the cycle.\r\n

\r\nThe Archdiocese of Omaha is prepared to protect all children, everywhere. We\u2019ve been proving our commitment to keeping children safe for years. \r\n

\r\nHere are some results of our efforts:<\/strong>\r\n
