Safe Environment
St. Patrick Parish has adopted the Safe Environment Program as mandated by the Diocese of Dallas.   The program's mission statement is to the right, the purpose below and the details are found on the links to the left.

 

Purpose of the Program

The program has been adopted by the Diocese and our parish in order to:

·         provide a safe and secure environment for the minors and vulnerable adults in its faith communities;  

·         reduce the possibility of false accusations against clergy, employees and volunteers;  

·         provide a structure for evaluating a person’s suitability to work with minors or vulnerable adults;  

·         and  provide a system to respond to a victim and his/her family as well as to the accused.

 

As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of minors and vulnerable adults.  As they participate in activities within or sponsored by our Diocese, it is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment which is safe and nurturing.
