Those who minister within parishes, organizations, and institutions of the Church founded by Jesus Christ have the responsibility to exemplify Gospel teachings, values, and mandates in their lives, and in their actions. For this purpose, a Code of Ethical Standards has been put in place. Anyone who observes or experiences serious violations of the Code of Ethical Standards has a right and responsibility to report such misconduct. If an individual believes that such violations are criminal offenses, they should make the report to civil authorities. Other reports about clergy misconduct are directed to the Vicar for Clergy. Reports about misconduct by lay ministers are directed to the Director of Priest and Lay Ecclesial Personnel and Placement. Reports can also be made through an outside reporting agency, Convercent.
