Protection of ChildrenServing the Diocese of Jackson
Diocesan policies and procedures currently in place seek to protect, enhance and, in some cases, restore the trust that our faith calls for between agents of the church and the children and adolescents entrusted to our care. In accordance with the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People passed by the U.S. bishops in Dallas, the Diocese of Jackson wishes to encourage any victim of sexual abuse by a member of the Catholic Clergy to come forward and begin the healing process. When an allegation is found to be credible, counseling will be offered, so that the healing process can begin in accord with our present diocesan policy. We encourage any victim to contact Erika Rojas, Victim Assistance Coordinator at 601-326-3736.
To report an allegation of abuse or mishandling of allegations of sexual abuse by a bishop, please visit Report Bishop Abuse or call 1-800-276-1562.
