Commitment
The Legionaries of Christ is committed to addressing the causes and consequences of the phenomenon of child sexual abuse in its past in order to make its commitment a reality: Zero Abuse
With this site the Legionaries of Christ seek to be transparent regarding the abuses committed by some of its members throughout its history. We want to contribute to the victim’s healing and to promote safe environments that offer all possible guarantees for a future of zero abuse.
accountability
Every commitment requires accountability. On March 22, we published the 2020 Annual Report Truth, Justice, and Healing on the steps taken by the Congregation in caring for victims of abuse and establishing safe environments. It provides updated statistics and accounts for the publication of cases. Read about it here.
safe environments
The Congregation is firmly committed to creating and maintaining safe environments for minors and vulnerable adults who have contact with Legionaries and who participate in our activities. There are measures put into place to prevent abuse, clear procedures for acting immediately on any allegations and reporting them to authorities. Our main priority is the prevention of abuse as well as the well-being and healing of any victim.
