Safe Environment

Protecting children, youth and vulnerable adults are of highest importance at parishes and Catholic schools throughout our diocese. All clergy, employees and volunteers in the diocese who work with children or vulnerable adults within the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee must pass a level II background check, complete all required Safe Environment Training courses through the Armatus System and adhere strictly to our Code of Conduct policies.

Since the establishment of The Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, our diocese has been proactive in its efforts to create safe environments. We have been fully engaged in the annual audit process and have been found compliant in implementing the practices of The Charter since its inception in 2002.

Our diocese has worked hard over the last couple of decades to make our Church a very safe, warm and welcoming place for children and for all people. ” Bishop Wack
