SafeNet is an non profit organization founded by survivors of clergy abuse that supports understanding, fairness, compassion, reconciliation and healing for all who have been victimized by clergy sexual abuse. Since 2003 we have helped hundreds of survivors, family members, friends and communities find what they need to heal.

     While our focus is on survivors, parishes, communities and religious in the Franciscan Province of St. Barbara, we are available to all dioceses and religious orders.

     We assist by advocating, listening and helping others to listen, coordinating and facilitating educational forums in safe environments, and offering resources for legal and psychological counseling. 

     We believe that transparency on the part of the Franciscans and the entire Catholic Church are necessary for reconciliation and essential for healing on many levels. We embrace these efforts by offering a lively and variable source of information on our website.
