Reporting Sexual Abuse

If you know of an incident of sexual abuse of a person who is now under the age of 18 by a priest, deacon, employee or volunteer, PLEASE IMMEDIATELY CALL THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES AND THEN THE DIOCESE.

If the person was abused as a minor but is now an adult, please contact: 

The Office of Safe Environment at the Diocese of Green Bay (920) 272-8174 or 1-877-270-8174 (toll free) 

We always encourage you to report the incident to civil authorities.
