Safe Environment
The Province of Saint Ann, Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, is committed to creating and maintaining a safe environment for all who interact with its members and are involved in its ministries, especially children and minors. We have put in place clear standards of conduct for all members as well as procedures for investigating and reporting any allegations of abuse or misconduct.
The policies and procedures implemented by the Province of Saint Ann, Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, are coordinated with the Conference of Major Superiors of Men and Praesidium, Inc., a national organization that works with religious orders and other institutions to establish and maintain rigorous standards for protecting children and vulnerable adults.
We encourage anyone who has a concern about possible abuse by a member of the Province of Saint Ann, Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, to contact the appropriate authorities, what some dioceses identify as Victim Assistance Coordinator or one that is part of an independent safety board for monitoring the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament. Monitoring our Service Assistance Center is the Coordinator, Dr David Hussey, (216) 710-3170. You may also contact the Provincial Office either by telephone (440) 442-6311 and speak to Fr Lane, SSS or by using the contact form below.
