Thank you very much for being in compliance with the Rockford Diocese Safe Environment Program for volunteers and helping keep our children safe.

The Rockford Diocese has made a change to one of the required documents (Guidelines for Youth), which now means that everyone is non-compliant for 2018. Becoming compliant again is very easy: 

Step 1:  Read the COMPLETE New Guidelines for Youth 

or simply Read the REVISIONS for 2018 within this 10 page document.

Step 2:  Sign the New Youth Form and submit it to the Parish Office by May 31st*

* You may return the form when you come to Mass, placing it in a “SAFE” box in the church narthex (or hand it to an usher), you can drop it off at the parish office during business hours, send it in the mail, fax it to 815-385-0861 or scan and email it to safe@stpatrickmchenry.org. 

Should you have any questions about the Safe Environment Program, you are welcome to contact Carla Odahowski at codahowski@stpatrickmchenry.org or call the Parish Office at 815-385-0025. Thank you.
