Bishop Patrick J. Zurek with a Letter to the Church of Amarillo--SPANISH VERSION

Bishop Patrick J. Zurek shares this letter with the Church of Amarillo.

On April 18, Bishop Patrick J. Zurek and Louise Ross, Chairperson of the Amarillo Diocesan Charter Review Board, authorized the implementation of the revised “Amarillo Diocese Safe Environment Policy” along with the revised “Appendix ’F’ Code of Pastoral Conduct.”

The Diocese of Amarillo is offering the Safe Environment Program for Children and Young People titled: “Right Relationships” to all of our parishes. This program was developed by the Office of Safe Environment of the Diocese of Salt Lake City, who generously gave us permission to use this program. “Right Relationships" promotes and models safe environment principles and teaches children to recognize and respond to relationships that are not "right."
