Protection of Children and Young People


Protection of              ChildrenIn 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 of sexual abuse or exploitation to contact Mrs. Louise Dillon, Victims Assistance Coordinator, at 601-326-3278.
