PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN 

In an ongoing effort to protect children, to provide safe environments for them, the Catholic Church mandates training as well background checks and provides further education and resources for all adults working with children. Therefore, all persons who work with children at St. Mary must have this certification and background check.
