The Catholic Churches of Emmons County , North Dakota

* 1 Did you know? The Catholic Church must be exemplary: clergy, employees, whether diocesan, parish or Catholic school, and volunteers are held accountable for their behavior. To enable the highest level of accountability, there must be a clear and unambiguous definition of appropriate behavior. The Bismarck Diocese Code of Conduct provides a foundation for implementing effective and enforceable standards for all clergy, educators, employees and volunteers who may be in contact with children and youth. This document is available at https://bismarckdiocese.com/safe-environment-program.
