Protecting God’s Children Overview

Save the date: Wednesday, May 1, 2013, 7-10 p.m.
Praesidium Inc. Workshop for all Screening Coordinators and Ministry leaders on Creating Safe Environments. More details to follow.

The Protecting God’s Children Policy is a screening process designed to create, maintain and promote a safe church environment for all those to whom we serve. It is to ensure that we fulfill our duty and obligations as a caring faith community to place appropriate persons in ministries involving minors and vulnerable persons.

This office assists parishes in carrying out the policy by providing training and support to pastors and screening coordinators, and seeks to protect and preserve the integrity and reputation of the employees and volunteers.
