Protecting God's Children
The Archdiocese of Chicago Office of the Protection of Children and Youth’s (OPCY) mission is to respond to victim-survivors who report sexual abuse by assisting them in the process of healing and reporting allegations, and ensure the Archdiocese is providing services to prevent future instances of sexual abuse. All volunteers within the Archdiocese of Chicago are required to adhere to the requirements of the Protecting God's Children program.
