The
Catholic Bishop Abuse Reporting Service has been established to receive reports
of sexual abuse and related misconduct by bishops and to relay those reports to
proper Church authorities for investigation. Where a report includes a crime,
such as the sexual abuse of a minor, it will also be reported to civil
authorities. Otherwise, reports will be kept confidential. To report abuse
and/or related misconduct by a bishop, please call toll-free 1-800-276-1562 or
visit ReportBishopAbuse.org.
If you have any other kind of
complaint about a bishop—such as parish assignments, church closings, or homily
contents—please address those directly to the Diocese of Grand Island.
Sexual abuse by a priest, deacon, staff
member, or volunteer of the Diocese of Grand Island should be reported by
calling the Nebraska Child Abuse hotline at 1-800-652-1999. Please also report
this abuse to the Diocese by calling 1-800-652-2229 or [email protected].
