Safe Environment

St. Michael Catholic Church supports the Seattle Archdiocese policies and programs for a safe environment:

The Archdiocese of Seattle deeply cherishes the bond of sacred trust between its people and the clergy and lay ministers of the Church. As a faith community, we acknowledge the inherent worth and dignity of every person as created in the image and likeness of God. Sexual abuse, sexual misconduct and sexual harassment are abusive and harmful actions that have no place in the Church community, or in society at large.

The Archdiocese of Seattle has a long commitment to the protection of children, youth and vulnerable adults. For years, steps have been taken to assure the safety of those who serve in our parishes, schools and agencies. This office was established in 2007 to assist the Archbishop in ensuring those commitments of safety are implemented while offering assistance to those who are suffering in the aftermath of abuse.
