DIOCESE OF HOUMA-THIBODAUX OUTREACH LINE
              In April, we observe Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month.  This is a time we remember all victims of child abuse and call to mind what is necessary to ensure the safety of all children.
              In response to the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux is offering an Outreach Line (formerly known as the Child Protection Contact Line).  The Outreach Line was created to extend the diocesan commitment to support healing for all who have been hurt or sexually abused, whether recently or in the past by clergy, religious, or other employees of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux.
             The Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux Outreach Line operates from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., Monday through Friday.  A trained mental health professional is available for those who reach out. Individuals are offered additional assistance if requested.  The Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux Outreach Line telephone number is: (985) 873-0026 or (985) 850-3172).
