I Want to Get Involved

As volunteers, keeping our students safe is the most important job. The Archdiocese of Milwaukee’s program to safeguard children helps remind us of this very fact. With the help of this program, the faithful are guided and educated about the responsibility of how to keep God’s children protected and safe. To learn more about safeguarding and ways to build a safe environment, please view the Safe Environment Bulletin and the Safe Environment Program Instructions provided by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
