Safeguarding All of God’s Family
At St. Peter Catholic Parish, we are committed to providing a safe environment with healthy relationships for all students, parents, school personnel, volunteers, and clergy. All employees and volunteers who interact regularly with minors at St. Peter Catholic Parish must attend one session.
The goal of the Safeguarding All of God’s Family program is to protect our children and all in the church family from all forms of abuse and neglect.
The program is required for all of our priests, parish staff, and adult volunteers who have contact with children or youth. This includes those who volunteer at our school and in our Christian Formation program, those who chaperone field trips and retreats, etc.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee requires that all three program requirements shown below must be completed before you may begin any employment or volunteer with children or youth:
- Authorize a criminal background check
- Read and sign the Code of Ethical Standards and read the Mandatory Reporting Statement
- Participate in a Safe Environment Education session
Are you an adult looking to work with the youth of our parishes through volunteer events, becoming a catechist, or looking for employment with the parish? A one-time Safe Environment Training is required.
