This Affirmation Statement MUST be submitted by all
We, at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, are firmly committed to protecting our community members and visitors from all forms of abuse and responding appropriately to any evidence of abuse.

All our clergy, employees and volunteers work to insure the safety of children, young people and vulnerable entrusted to our care in our ministries and programs. We pursue this mission in the following ways:
  • By thoroughly screening and supervising all members of the clergy (priests and deacons), as well as all employees and volunteers who work with children and young people and other vulnerable individuals as part of their ministry.
  • By providing appropriate training in recognizing and reporting child/adult abuse to appropriate civil and Church authorities.
  • By holding all members of the clergy, all employees and all volunteers who work with children, young people and the vulnerable to Christ-centered and professional codes of conduct.
  • By following Arizona's Mandatory Reporting laws.

Full information on reporting suspected abuse is available here.
