Safe Environment Awareness Week

Each year in the month of April, which is recognized around the country as child abuse prevention month, our archdiocese dedicates a week (Mar 30-Apr 6) to elevating the general awareness of the Church’s efforts to keep our children safe. We want people to know that we are committed to maintaining safe environments in our parishes and schools through adult child abuse prevention training; criminal background checks for all clergy, volunteers working with minors, and employees; safety training for children in each grade level; and adhering to all mandatory reporting requirement laws.
