Safe Environment / Volunteering

Protecting God's Children

 

Thank you for volunteering at St. Clare of Assisi Church & School 

 
 

St. Clare of Assisi Church and School follow the Archdiocese of St. Louis Safe Environment Program (Protecting God’s Children).  The program is designed to help protect the youth, elderly, and vulnerable adults of our parish as they participate in activities within our community.  This process also provides a layer of protection against the possibility of false accusations for those adults who are involved in our many ministries.
