Creating A Culture of Healing and Protection
The promise to protect and the pledge to heal is the commitment made by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in their Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. They extend this promise to not only the young, but to adults who are vulnerable as well.
An important part of this commitment is to provide training to adults involved in service to the Church so that they can carry out the “promise to protect and pledge to heal” as well. In the words of Bishop Timothy Doherty, former chair of the US Bishop’s Committee for the Protection of Children and Young People, “All we do is for Christ. What you do is not only for children and youth, but for and with Christ.”
Creating a Culture of Healing and Protection moves us beyond merely providing safe surroundings for our children. Building a culture of healing and protection involves transforming our values and beliefs about the life and dignity of the human person into who and how we are with children and adults who are vulnerable.
