Safe Environment
To quote Archbishop Brunett,
"The painful experience of the past few years has deepened and renewed our commitment to protect the vulnerable in our midst, and awakened our collective conscience to the widespread tragedy of child sexual abuse. We have a responsibility to continue our leadership and to address the tragic reality of child sexual abuse that affects not only the church but the entire community."
To address this tragedy, St Joseph Parish adheres to the Archdiocese of Seattle's Safe Environment Program. All parishioners, parents, and other volunteers who work with vulnerable populations are required to take the three hour Safe Environment Training Program and annual updates.
Classes are held several times a year at St. Joseph and at neighboring parishes throughout western Washington. Classes may be taken at any parish in the diocese.
This fall we are sponsoring two classes:
· Friday, September 3, 2010 at 9 a.m.
St. Joseph School auditorium
· Monday, September 13, 2010 at 6:30 p.m.
St. Joseph School auditorium
Class limit is 150. You must pre-register online.
