Keeping Children Safe

As part of our commitment to providing a safe environment for all children, the Diocese requires special training for those working with youth. All clerics and members of the religious institutes assigned to parish, school, or institutional ministry, and all employees and volunteers who regularly work with minors, must participate in the Protecting God's Children workshop.

The free workshop addresses:

• appropriate boundaries in ministry Additional Child
• signs and symptoms of sexual abuse in minors
• policies and prevention of sexual abuse by church personnel
• policies and procedures for reporting allegations of sexual abuse
• how to respond appropriately to disclosures of abuse
