Diocesan Abuse Information

January 31, 2019

This afternoon, our Bishop Burns kept his promise of providing the names of those priests who have been the subject of a credible allegation of sexual abuse of a minor in the Diocese during the period from 1950 to the present. A “credible allegation” is one that, after review of reasonably available, relevant information in consultation with the Diocesan Review Board or other professionals, there is reason to believe is true.

HOW TO REPORT ABUSE

First, notify local law enforcement.

Second, notify the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services through the Texas Abuse Hotline - 1-800-252-5400 or www.txabusehotline.org.

Finally, if the allegation involves a member of the clergy or an employee of a parish or the Diocese, please notify the Diocese of Dallas Victims Assistance Coordinator, Barbara Landregan, : 214-379-2812.

Si sospecho que un sacerdote o empleado de su parroquia ha participado en conducta sexual inapropiada con un menor:
