Child and Youth Protection

The Safe Environment Program of the Diocese of Raleigh strives to empower parishes, schools, families, and individuals to create and foster safe and healthy environments for children and youth in all aspects of their lives.

Everything we do as church reflects our commitment to respect life in all situations by providing a secure, sacred space that safeguards and promotes human dignity by fostering the development of each individual and by creating and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all who come to us seeking an experience of the holy presence of God. This Web site is designed to assist in this important work.
