It is our commitment as a parish, a diocese and the Catholic Church universally to protect our children from abuse of any kind. As part of that commitment every parish teaches our children in the first and fourth grades about appropriate touch. Furthermore, all volunteers, staff and clergy are trained through the Protecting God's Children Program.
Our parish Child Protection Coordinator is Dcn. Vincent Ricciardi: [email protected] For training or re-certification in child protection, please reach out to him via the aforementioned email. We are very happy to have Dcn. Vincent Ricciardi coordinate this office in our parish as he is a retired captain of the Essex County Sheriff's Dept.
