2022-2023 Working Together to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse Brochure
The Office of Safeguard the Children of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles annually publishes the
Working Together to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse Brochure, which provides an up-to-date listing of
safe environment policies, programs, resources, contact numbers and other important information
about how the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is working to prevent child sexual abuse. Copies of the
brochures are available in the parish vestibule or online at: https://lacatholics.org/departments-

The Archdiocese continues helping survivors of sexual abuse and their families.
During National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and on behalf of Archbishop José H. Gomez, we
affirm our continued commitment to report allegations of sexual misconduct to law
enforcement, support victim-survivors in their healing journey, and protect children and the
vulnerable. The Archdiocese created a website, https://lacatholics.org/protect/ that serves as a
comprehensive tool containing resources, programs and services for protecting children and reporting
abuse. If you, or someone you know, is a victim of sexual misconduct by someone affiliated with our
Church, please contact law enforcement and the Archdiocese’s Victims Assistance Coordinator at (213) 637-7650 or visit https://lacatholics.org/reporting-child-abuse/ for help and support. In additions, Archbishop Gomez invites you to join him and many across the Archdiocese at the Novena for Protecting and Healing from abuse April 22-30, 2022.
