Safe Environment
Protecting Our Children
Preventing – Responding – Reporting
At Mission San Luis Rey Parish, we are deeply committed to creating and maintaining a safe, respectful, and faith-filled environment for all, especially our children and youth. In collaboration with the Diocese of San Diego, we follow clear and transparent policies to prevent abuse, respond to concerns, and report misconduct.
Our Commitment
All parish ministers, clergy, volunteers, and catechetical staff are:
Screened and background-checked
Trained in professional conduct and boundaries
Educated on how to recognize and respond to signs of abuse
We follow the Safe Environment Program of the Diocese of San Diego, ensuring that all who work with minors are equipped to foster a culture of safety and accountability.
