Any allegation of sexual abuse of a minor (or any other form of sexual abuse) by any cleric, employee, or volunteer serving in the Archdiocese should be reported immediately in writing to the Archbishop or to the Vicar General at P.O. Box 4469, Washington, DC 20017-0469 or via email. The person making the report is requested to provide the following information:
