WHY DO WE HAVEA SAFE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM?
St. Ann's Parish and the Diocese of Allentown are committed to creating safe environments for our children.
WHAT IS OUR SAFE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM?
All St Ann Parish employees, and any volunteers who may come into contact with children are required by PA state law to have the following background checks:
PA State Criminal
PA Child Abuse
FBI Fingerprinting
Mandated Reporter Training
Additionally, the Diocese of Allentown requires:
Signed Acknowledgments for the Diocesan Code of Conduct and Sexual Abuse Policy
Attendance at a Protecting God's Children Workshop
