Creating a Safe Environment is a mandate from the bishops of the United States.  Bishop Clark continues to be a strong advocate for ensuring the safety of those most defenseless in our society, our children and vulnerable adults.

All employees of the Rochester Diocese must sign and abide by a Code of Conduct, attend a workshop on Sexual Abuse and give permission for a criminal and sex offender record check.  All volunteers, in diocesan organizations who work with children and vulnerable adults must follow these same guidelines.  This would include all our parent volunteers.

If parents will be transporting children for a field trip, they must also sign a release for a Driving record check.

Workshops will be given throughout the year at numerous parishes and schools.   Please check the school calendar for the next workshop scheduled at St. Lawrence.
