Safe Environment Awareness Week

We are all responsible for creating safe environments

Safe Environment Week is for every parish and school, as well as the entire faith community to focus, at the same time, on the importance of keeping our children and youth safe. Child abuse and neglect are societal problems whose prevention depend on involvement among people throughout the faith community. Our children are our most valuable resources and will shape the future of not only the Archdiocese of Milwaukee but also the entire Church. As a Church we have much work to do to rebuild the trust that has been broken. We acknowledge that as bishops, clergy and church leaders we must work together as a community to increase awareness about child abuse and neglect and work to promote the social and emotional well-being of children, youth and families in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment.
