AVOSA Office of Care

His Excellency Bishop Paul Hinder, the Apostolic Vicar, in his commitment to creating a safe environment for all God’s children and to care for them, has established the Office of Care. 

This Office works for the protection of minors and the vulnerable adults by providing them a safe environment within the Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia (AVOSA). This involves responding to any allegations of sexual misconduct or abuse of minors or vulnerable adults by priests, deacons, religious, and lay persons who are at the service of AVOSA at the parish or Vicariate level as employees or as volunteers.

Reports of abuse of minors and vulnerable persons or allegations of any sexual misconduct can be addressed to the AVOSA Office of Care. While necessary confidentiality is assured, anonymous information will not be entertained.

If you have questions about the Office of Care or are concerned about a child or vulnerable person at risk, please contact:
