Catholic Bishop Abuse Reporting Service

To report an incident of sexual abuse and related misconduct by a bishop, please contact the Catholic Bishop Abuse Reporting Service at ReportBishopAbuse.org or call (800) 276-1562.

The Catholic Bishop Abuse Reporting Service will receive and relay those reports to the proper Church authorities for investigation.  Where a report includes a crime, such as the sexual abuse of a minor, it will also be reported to civil authorities.  Otherwise, reports will be kept confidential.

If you suspect child abuse involving any archdiocesan clergy, personnel, or volunteer please report it immediately to civil authorities and to the Office of Child and Youth Protection for the Archdiocese of Washington, at 301-853-5302.
