Christian stewardship calls us to utilize the resources of the diocese with integrity.
 
Bishop Barry C. Knestout announces the implementation of a hotline that will be used to report concerns of suspected financial, administrative, or human resources misconduct within the Diocese of Richmond.
 
The hotline will be handled by an independent, third-party reporting system, EthicsPoint, to ensure accountability and transparency with reporting procedures.  The use of such a hotline is another safeguard to protect the resources entrusted to us by the people of our diocese.  Reports can be made online or by phone.  Employees, volunteers, clergy, parishioners, and any other individual wishing to report can do so anonymously, if they wish.
 
The toll-free number is 1-844-739-3210 and is offered in multiple languages.  To submit a report online, please visit the diocesan website, www.richmonddiocese.org, and select EthicsPoint.
 
The hotline number is not a 911 or emergency service number.  Individuals should not use this number to report information that is of an immediate threat to life or property.
 
Additionally, EthicsPoint is NOT intended to receive information about sexual abuse allegations.  Abuse allegations should be reported immediately to local law enforcement and the Attorney General’s Clergy Abuse Hotline at 1-833-454-9064.
 
Additional information, including a video message and letter from Bishop Knestout, a list of frequently asked questions, and other resources regarding EthicsPoint, can be found by visiting the diocesan website.
