The Diocese of Austin, the Catholic Church of Central Texas, is
committed to preventing harm from happening to any of our children
or vulnerable adults. If you are aware of sexual abuse and/or
neglect of a child or vulnerable adult by a volunteer, employee, or
clergy member, our Ethics and Integrity in Ministry policies
require that you report that information to the diocesan chancellor
by calling (512) 476-4888. A Notice of Concern form can also be
used, and is available on our diocesan Web site,
www.austindiocese.org (click on the link “To report abuse”). These
reports may be made anonymously. It is also state law that abuse
and/or neglect of a minor must be reported to local law enforcement
or Child and Protective Services.
We are excited to announce the dates for upcoming St
Elizabeth-sponsored ACTS Retreats. This is an adult retreat which
seeks to deepen one’s faith & relation-ship with Jesus Christ
and with a community of fellow believers.
Come experience the grace and wonder of the Holy Land
