Safe Environment Training for Parents
You are invited to view the Safe Environment program that is required for all volunteers and staff of our parish.
This is not something that you are required to view but are encouraged. Please know that if you wish to volunteer during our Religious Education year as a classroom assistant, at a retreat, or any other function; you will be required to complete this process.

Now known as the “Green & Red Book” of August 2026, combined into one piece of literature.
