Child Protection ServicesChildren are a Gift from God
 An
external Advisory Panel reviews child protection issues in the diocese
and makes recommendations to the bishop regarding priests/church
employees/volunteer workers against whom there are allegations of child
sexual abuse. All their recommendations to date have been implemented by the bishop. The
diocese maintains contact, where possible, with priests out of ministry
through meetings with the delegate and assistant delegate. The members of this committee have expertise in Canon Law, legal studies, business, social work and psychotherapy. The Panel meetings four times per year or as the need arises.
