This year marks the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the US Bishops’ Charter for Protection of Children and Young People. The Charter contains practical and pastoral steps that address allegations of sexual abuse, prevent future abuse, and help abuse victims through the healing process.
     A zoom VIRTUS class will be held soon for those individuals who need to take the initial VIRTUS Protecting God’s Children training class. Please contact the parish office to enroll. 
     We appreciate everyone’s continued focus on this very critical program.
