Diocese of Arlington Child Protection Policy
In response to the summer 2018 revelations about clerical sexual abuse and the listening session held at St. John Neumann Catholic Community on Sept. 27, 2018, a parish ACTION group was formed. The name was taken from the following goals:
- Advocacy
- Change
- Transparency
- Inclusion
- ONgoing reform
Our mission encompasses:
- Supporting the survivors of clerical abuse
- Educating ourselves and our parish to the issues involved in this crisis
- Advocating for meaningful laity involvement at all levels of the church hierarchy to ensure accountability and transparency
ACTION meets the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. We meet virtually and in-person. Please email sjnaction@gmail.com to participate. All are welcome!
