Safe Environment

Protecting children, youth and vulnerable adults is of highest importance at the 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 courses through the Armatus System and adhere strictly to our Code of Conduct policies. 

Our Catholic schools, parish faith formation programs and youth ministry programs have been teaching children and youth age-appropriate lessons about personal safety and sexual abuse prevention since 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
