This can only happen with the dedication of pastors, principals, directors and coordinators of religious education, administration and staff in collaboration with parents and volunteers. Tips for Protecting Children and the Vulnerable Child sexual abuse can be prevented. It is critical to build safety barriers around children and young people to keep them from harm such as protective guardians, codes of conduct, background evaluations, policies and procedures, and safety training programs. Background checks work. Background checks in churches, schools, and other organizations keep predators away from children both because they scare off some predators and because they uncover past actions which should ban an adult from working or volunteering with children. Florida Abuse Hotline: ABUSE ( ) The St. Peter Catholic Church Education Fund mission is to help members of the parish pursue their educational goals. Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis.

Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio seeks to provide an opportunity for teens to come to know the saving love of Christ by providing a powerful experience of the Catholic Church and its sacramental life. This conference is specialized to address the resources and needs of today s Catholic youth, organized on a national and a regional level. With an exciting lineup of speakers, musicians and presenters, the High School Youth Conference will challenge Catholic Youth to stand firm in their faith, rely on the awesome power of Jesus Christ who is their guide, friend and Savior, and show that faith to the world. The Sacraments are the highlight of the conference. Teens will join in a dynamic Eucharistic Liturgy during the weekend and will be given the opportunity to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
