June 15–17, 2026 | Parish and Community-Based Child Protection Volunteer Seminar

The Diocese of San Carlos, in partnership with CPTCSA and Mission Alliance, successfully conducted another training seminar for new volunteers of the Parish and Community-Based Child Protection Program.

Held from June 15 to 17, 2026, the seminar equipped participants with the knowledge and skills needed to help prevent and respond to child sexual abuse within parish and community settings. Through discussions, workshops, and practical learning sessions, the new volunteers were empowered to become advocates for child protection and safeguarding.

This initiative reflects the Diocese of San Carlos' continuing commitment to creating safe environments for children and promoting a culture of protection, awareness, and care throughout the diocese. We thank all the facilitators, partners, and volunteers whose dedication made this seminar a success. Together, we continue to safeguard the dignity and well being of every child.

February 10, 2026, the Diocese of San Carlos officially launched its first Diocesan Safeguarding Policy. The celebration also marked the 38th anniversary of San Carlos as a diocese and the diaconal ordination of four candidates.

It was truly a blessed and meaningful day, as parishioners from different vicariates gathered together in unity and thanksgiving. The Holy Mass was presided over by Bishop Gerardo A. Alminaza, DD, together with priests from various parishes across the diocese.

Our partner organizations, CPTCSA and Mission Alliance, were also present to support the launching. The Diocesan Safeguarding Policy is the fruit of collaboration among the priests of the diocese. It was authored by Atty. Dawn Adolfo, reviewed by Fr. Martin Brodit and Fr. Marjun Almario, and approved by Bishop Gerardo A. Alminaza, DD, reflecting the shared commitment of the clergy to create safer spaces within the Church.

The celebration was not only historic but also a strong reminder of the Diocese’s commitment to safeguarding, service, and faithful stewardship.
