Advisory Panel

An external Advisory Panel reviews child protection issues in the diocese and makes recommendations to the bishop regarding priests/church employees/volunteer workers against whom there are allegations of any kind made. All their recommendations to date have been implemented by the bishop. The diocese maintains contact, where possible, with priests out of ministry through meetings with the Diocesan delegate and assistant delegate. The members of this committee have expertise in Canon Law, legal studies, business, social work and psychotherapy. The Panel meets four times per year or as the need arises.
