Protection of youth and vulnerable adults
Moreover,
this is the rule of love: the good that we desire for ourselves we desire for our neighbor also, and the evil that we are unwilling to
undergo we wish to prevent from happening to our neighbor. All who love
God will have such a desire toward everybody.
Saint Augustine (True Religion, 87)
Message from the Prior Provincial:
The Augustinian Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova is committed to
serving each and every person to whom we minister with utmost care,
respect and love. We will not tolerate abuse or misconduct of any kind,
and we will continue to serve God's people in the spirit of Saint
Augustine, treating each child and vulnerable adult as if that person
were the only one to be served. We pledge to uphold the policies and
procedures we have established ensuring the safety and protection of all
whom we are privileged to serve.
