As a Catholic community, we are called to protect the vulnerable, speak truth in love, and accompany one another with compassion and courage. The Church upholds the dignity of every human person and affirms that no one is called to endure abuse — physical, emotional, spiritual, or otherwise — as a form of Christian sacrifice.
