Since 2003, the Diocese of Syracuse has been committed to protecting children, youth, and vulnerable adults through its Safe Environment Program, which provides training on abuse prevention, a Child and Youth Protection Policy, and a Diocesan Code of Conduct.
Safe Environment Week celebrates and thanks all who partner with the Diocese—clergy, religious, employees, volunteers, and community members—to raise awareness, strengthen prevention, and foster safe, supportive environments across our parishes, schools, and agencies.
This year, Safe Environment Week will be celebrated November 16, 2026 - November 22, 2026.
