The safety of every minor child is of importance and every measure possible should be taken to ensure his or her safety. Child abuse and abductions are increasing and although church is seen as a “safe haven” or “sanctuary,” Church property and people are not exempt from the evils of this world.

 

Father Phil mentioned at all the Masses last weekend that an adult age 18 or older must accompany any child age 12 or under when they go to the restroom during Mass. The parish's Unattended Child Policy requires the same any time the child is on church property (ex. arriving for class or an event, in the parking lot).
