2019 Abuse Awareness Training for Adults Relating to Sexual Misconduct and Sexual Harassment (promulgated by Archbishop John C. Wester on June 28, 2024)
2019 Política de la Arquidiócesis de Santa Fe Sobre la Conducta Sexual Inapropiada y el Acoso Sexual
The first Archdiocese of Santa Fe policy relating to sexual misconduct was promulgated on July 1, 1990. The ASF Policy was one of the first in the USA to require that any knowledge of sexual abuse of a minor be immediately reported to proper law enforcement authorities. Since 1990, thousands of paid personnel, volunteers, and parents have participated, as required, in workshops to be better informed and learn what we must do together to ensure that the home, school, workplace, and Church are safe environments. In an effort to provide guidance and direction, we periodically review our policy and update it as needed to prevent sexual misconduct and harassment. The revised policy was promulgated by Archbishop John C. Wester on June 28, 2024. En Español
