SUPERVISION OF PROGRAMS WITH MINORS:
TELECOMMUNICATION AND DISTANCE LEARNING MINISTRY EVENTS POLICY
Diocese of Austin policies on Ethics and Integrity in Ministry apply to the use of telecommunication systems for distance learning and ministry events with minors in much the same manner as for in-person on-site, off-site and overnight ministry and events. Telecommunication between minors and Church personnel is permitted for legitimate ministry-related purposes and must reflect the Catholic faith and her teachings; transparency and accountability are required.
