Safe Environment

The mission of the “Safe Environment Program” is to insure the safety of children and young people who have been entrusted to our care.

We will:

Thoroughly screen and supervise all Church ministers, employees and volunteers who work with children and young people as part of their ministry.
Provide appropriate training in recognizing and reporting child abuse.
Expect all Church ministers, employees and volunteers who work with our young people to maintain a Christ-centered and professional code of conduct.

Provide the opportunity for every minor in our parish to participate annually in a safety training covering the topics of sexual abuse prevention and the need to tell if abuse is occurring.
