Diocese of La Crosse Child Sexual Abuse Policy Information

The Diocese of La Crosse through its policies and procedures seeks to provide a prompt, appropriate and compassionate response to reporters of sexual abuse of a child by any diocesan agent (employees, volunteers, vendors, religious or clergy). Anyone wishing to make a report of an allegation of sexual abuse should send that report to Bishop William Callahan, Diocese of La Crosse, P.O. Box 4004, La Crosse, WI 54602-4004. The form is available through the Diocese of La Crosse Office of the Vicar for Clergy or on the diocesan website at www.dioceseoflacrosse.com.

Individuals are also encouraged to take their reports directly to civil authorities.

Copies of the diocesan policy are available through your local parish. If you have any questions about the Diocese of La Crosse and the implementation of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, please contact Father David Kunz, at 608-791-0161, or dkunz@dioceseoflacrosse.com.
