Safe Environment

Bishop Edward Burns and the Diocese of Dallas are committed to preventing the harm of any of God's people and supporting those who have experienced abuse. Go to https://www.cathdal.org/a-safe-environment to learn about reporting requirements and procedures for what to do if you know or have reasonable cause to believe that abuse of a minor, elderly adult, or adult with a disability has occurred, or if you have concerns about other unethical behaviors by church personnel or volunteers.

Compliance with diocesan Safe Environment policies is required of all clergy, sisters and brothers, seminarians, employees, and adult lay volunteers serving in ministries which require Safe Environment compliance.
