Protecting God's Children

St. Rose of Lima is committed to the safety of our children and vulnerable adults.

The VIRTUS “Protecting God’s Children” program is designed to train employee's as well as volunteers who have contact with children.

In addition to the required training of staff and volunteers, all children within the Religious Education program are provided the opportunity to participate in Personal Safety Sessions.

All of us working together, can help to create a safe environment in our parish.
