SAFE ENVIRONMENT...what does it mean?
In 2003, all dioceses/eparchies were mandated by the Charter for Protection of Chidlren and Young People to implement safe environment programs. These programs mucst include:- A written code of conduct for employees and volunteers who work with youth people.
- Training programs for adults whose duties include ongoing, unsupervised contact with minors (such as parents, ministers, educators, church personnel and volunteers); training should include materials on prevention, identification, and response and reporting of abuse.
- Training programs for children and young people that include materials on personal safety.
- A mechanism for background checks of all personnel who have regular contact with minors.

when the children go to class, stay in Church and participate in
our new Family Ministry program.
Life is very busy, especially for families as they try to find a balance between school, sports, work and faith. Too often, in today's world, faith gets placed last in the list of family priorities. How have we as a parish addressed this ministry?
We have programs that focus on Children's Ministry, on Youth Ministry and on new/returning Catholics wishing to receive various Sacraments (RCIA).
What have we provided to our parish community to help support
raising and nurturing the Catholic Family?
We are building this page to be a resource in assisting families

What is Family Ministry? / Que es "Ministerio Familiar?"
Our parish goal is to Know, Love, and Serve God and our Neighbor, but last year, we discovered barriers for families being able to fully engage this goal. We wanted to make our programs work together for families. We chose new times, moved our Masses, and made something available for all age groups. Family Ministry will be offered three times per week:10:15-11:30am SundayFamilies can pick one of three sessions to attend together. At each session there will be age-specific breakouts for grades K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12. On Sundays, we added childcare for six months to four years and adult formation in English and Spanish.
1:15-2:30pm Sunday
5:00-6:15pm Wednesday
We need a tremendous amount of partnership from parishioners to make this change possible and sustainable—partnership in small groups, teaching, snacks, setup, cleanup, registration, greeting, coordination, and logistics—so please consider participating in this exciting new project. Your commitment can be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or sporadic. We hope you will take advantage of these changes and engage your entire family in our parish this year. May the Lord guide our head, heart, and hands as Family Ministry begins.
El proposito de nuestra parroquia es conocer, amar y servir a Dios y al prójimo, pero en el último año, hemos descubierto barreras para las familias y no pueden participar plenamente con este proposito. Queremos que nuestros programas ayuden a las familias. Elegimos los nuevos horarios, cambiamos los horarios de nuestras Misas, e hicimos lo possible para que este disponible para todas las edades. El Ministerio Familiar se ofrecera tres veces por semana:
10:15-11:30am el domingoLas familias pueden elegir una de las tres sesiones para asistir juntos. En cada sesión, los descansos para todas las edades estarán disponibles para los grados K-1, 2-3, 4-5 de 6-8, y 9-12 Los domingos, hemos añadido cuidado de los niños de seis meses a cuatro años y la formación de adultos en Inglés y Español.
1:15-2:30pm el domingo
5:00-6:15pm el miércoles
Tenemos una enorme apoyo de los miembros de la parroquia para que este cambio sea posible y sostenible referente con grupos pequeños, enseñanza, bocadillos, instalación, limpieza, registro, hospitalidad, la coordinación y organización así que por favor considera participar en este emocionante y nuevo proyecto. Tu compromiso puede ser semanal, cada dos semanas, mensual o ocasionalmente. Esperamos que usted tome ventaja de estos cambios y involucre a su familia entera, no importa la edad, en nuestra parroquia este año. Que el Señor guíe nuestras mentes, corazones y manos para comenzar el Ministerio Familiar.
