The St. Paschal Baylon Safeguard the Children Committee members coordinate a wide range of matters related to creating and assuring a safe environment for the protection of all children who engage in any activities associated with our Parish and school.

We also play a crucial role in assuring that the Safeguard Initiative is a priority in the Parish and that Archdiocesan programs are being implemented throughout the Parish and its community.

The Safeguard policies and procedures apply to everyone who comes in contact with children at the Parish and at Parish-sponsored activities. This includes all Parish and school volunteers, teachers, staff or other paid personnel, who work in any capacity with or around children. All persons put into a position of trust at our Parish must share our Parish commitment to the protection of children.
