Youth Protection — An Ongoing Commitment to Keeping Children Safe

The Diocese of Allentown uses vigilance, education and prevention — coupled with swift and decisive action in the event of an accusation — to prevent abuse and keep children safe. Under our Zero-Tolerance Policy, in the event of an allegation of abuse, the Diocese notifies law enforcement, removes the priest from ministry, and addresses the issue transparently in cooperation with law enforcement.
