II Annual Report
Building a Culture of Safeguarding
REPORTING PERIOD: 2024
Progress, challenges, and commitments
toward a Church of accountability
“This second edition of the Annual Report embodies that commitment, serving as both compass and chronicle in the Church’s global pilgrimage toward accountability. The implementation process transcends simple procedural compliance — rather it brings about the conversion of hearts.
Our mission requires us to embody the Gospel through concrete action: by prioritizing faith, charity, and justice in each safeguarding initiative; by fostering peace and the common good through transparent Church structures; and by ensuring that the prophetic voice of survivors remains central to our collective conversion.”
Abp.. Thibault Verny
