When to report
The Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee encourages anyone aware of abuse by a priest, deacon or church personnel to make a report immediately. Your report enables us to better ensure the safety of all and to help individuals in the healing process. All information supplied is maintained in strictest confidence, except where disclosure is required by law. According to Florida law, all are considered " mandatory reporters" of abuse and must report the abuse of a child or a vulnerable adult.
