Protecting Gods Children Did you know? Parents and
guardians: Get involved – Parents & Guardians play a key role in
the success of parish programs for young people. Parents
and guardians who are involved in parish programs and events
will be in the best position to protect their own children as
well as all the children in the parish community.
Involvement and communication are important factors in helping
to ensure safe environments for all of our children. Help reduce abuse statistics! Nationally, more than 2 million reports of abuse or neglect of minors are made each year. Only a small percentage of child abuse is ever reported. Learn how to spot suspected abuse or neglect, and how to report it to the proper authorities.
