St. Bernard’s Church follows the Safe Environment Training Program set forth by the Diocese of Worcester. This training is for all individuals who wish to volunteer in the parish. This program increases awareness of sexual abuse, helps to prevent abuse, and encourages survivors of abuse to seek the healing they deserve.
We at St. Bernard’s are concerned about the safety of all children and adults. To further understand the program, to report abuse or to seek healing for past hurts please contact the diocesan office of Prevention and Healing https://worcesterdiocese.org/healing-prevention-1 or
call (508) 929-4363.
In keeping with the National Policy for the Protection of Children and Youth published by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), training about the signs and symptoms of child abuse is required at least once for all staff and volunteers. The program is designed to help protect the youth and adults of our parish as they participate in activities within our community.
Our Lady of Providence Parish holds trainings on site for those wishing to volunteer in the parish. Renee Jalbert conducts the Safe Environment Trainings for the parish. Please contact Renee or the office if you need to take this training. St. Bernard’s strictly adheres to the parameters of the program and has been randomly selected and audited for compliance. Our Lady of Providence Parish met all criteria in the audit and was deemed in compliance.
