Protection of Children, Youth and Vulnerable Adults

2012-2013 Charter Audit Results - Bishop Hartmayer has been notified by StoneBridge Business Partners, the accounting firm contracted by the USCCB to conduct annual audits of all dioceses, that the Diocese of Savannah has been found compliant with provisions of the Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children for the July 2012 – June 2013 audit period. This an accomplishment that can only be achieved through the dedicated efforts of numerous employees and volunteers at the parishes, schools and outreach centers across the diocese. Of special significance is the fact that nearly 2,000 additional volunteers became certified to minister to minors in our diocese during this audit period. Thank you for actively participating in the diocesan safe environment program.
