The Diocese of Worcester created Safe Environment programs for all individuals in the diocese to help promote awareness of sexual abuse, help to prevent abuse, and to encourage survivors of abuse to seek the healing they deserve.

Because we care about the safety and protection of our most vulnerable population.

Susan McGoldrick, Gail Collette and Michele Pfannenstiel are our parish Safe Environment Coordinators. 

All staff members, employees and volunteers in our parish help to create and maintain a safe environment through the following screening and training programs.

Each employee/volunteer must complete a CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) Request Form which is then submitted to the Commonwealth of MA through the Diocese of Worcester for processing.
