VILLANOVA TASK FORCE ON THE SEXUAL ABUSE CRISIS

We are a group of ÄÌÌÇÖ±²¥ University faculty members and program directors committed to understanding the root causes of the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church and to encouraging change at all levels in the Church in order to keep children safe from abuse. 

In addition to trying to foster internal reform within the Catholic Church, we organize campus events that draw upon national and international experts on the sexual abuse crisis, as well as sponsor local events that contribute to our understanding of the crisis.    

UPCOMING EVENTS

Please check back for events for the fall 2024 semester.
