7-6-20: The Diocese of Allentown uses vigilance, education and prevention, coupled with swift and decisive action in the event of an accusation, to prevent abuse and keep children safe.
Under their Zero-Tolerance Policy, in the event of an allegation of abuse, the Diocese notifies law enforcement, removes the priest from ministry, and addresses the issue transparently in cooperation with law enforcement.
