Protect. Prevent. Heal.
I wish to offer my most sincere and heartfelt apology to those who have been abused or harmed in any way by bishops, priests, and deacons we thought could be trusted with the children and vulnerable adults we cherish. Taking seriously Jesus’ teaching that whatever we do to the least among us, we do to Him, I can only conclude that the crimes and misconduct you suffered were nothing short of an attack on Christ Himself. I pray that the wounds you have endured will be healed and that you will be comforted by the grace and love of Jesus.
– Archbishop Edward Weisenburger

Report Abuse
The Archdiocese of Detroit encourages individuals to report clergy sexual abuse of minors and others directly to law enforcement – no matter when the abuse occurred.
Individuals who suspect clergy sexual abuse of children or vulnerable adults are encouraged to contact the Michigan Attorney General’s Office by calling 844-324-3374 or emailing aginvestigations@michigan.gov. Individuals also may contact their local police department.
Training and Screening for Employees and Volunteers
Safe environment programs are in place to assist parents and children - and all those who work and volunteer in Archdiocesan parishes, schools, agencies, and Curia offices- in preventing harm to young people and vulnerable adults.
