Mission Statement
The St. Julie Billiart Parish Safeguard the Children Committee is a group of lay volunteers and clergy formed as part of a mandated Archdiocesan-wide effort to assist in preventing sexual abuse of children in parish settings and at parish-sponsored events.
In this role, the Committee’s goals are to:
- Monitor Archdiocesan Policies and Procedures to ensure parish compliance with safeguard initiatives found in the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People;
- Ensure that all adults and those who work with children have attended the VIRTUS® Adult-Child Sexual Prevention Programs and strive to achieve the goal that all children and young people have been educated in one of the Archdiocesan-approved safe environment programs;
- Evaluate the parish buildings and grounds on an on‑going basis to ensure a safe environment for our children and young people and;
- Review and recommend parish‑wide safe environment policies and procedures that provide for the safety of our children and young people.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE ARCHDIOCESE
To be in compliance with Archdiocesan policies for working with youth all adults must attend a three hour VIRTUS Safeguard the Children Class held at any location. A copy of the certificate needs to be brought back to St. Julie's parish office. In addition, compliance with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles requires fingerprinting.
