Diocese launches Protecting God's Children program in Peoria
The Diocese of Peoria will start an education and awareness drive to combat sexual abuse. 31 volunteer leaders will be trained Monday to detect and handle cases, then train others across nearly 200 churches in 26 counties alongside 300 priests in the VIRTUS program. Bishop Jenky, who previously removed eight priests, says the effort aims to raise awareness, improve reporting, and reduce stigma so victims can speak out.
