PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN PROGRAM

Children are most precious to each of us and to Jesus and His Church.  It is our duty to protect and guide them.   And so, we invite all parishioners to thoroughly educate themselves on the various forms of  child abuse, signs of abuse and how to report it to proper authorities.   We would also like to acquaint you with the policies and guidelines of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and our own parish with regard to the protection of children in our educational programs and ministries.
