Safe Environment Requirement

In November 2020 Bishop Caggiano issued a new Safe Environment Handbook to include vulnerable adults. All volunteers in the Diocese of Bridgeport are asked to sign an updated Executive Summary acknowledging the new material even if your training is not due for renewal.

The Executive Summaries are available when you log into www.VIRTUS.org under the “Toolbox” tab. Select the correct appropriate summary (Lay Volunteer for most ministries), print, sign and date it and leave at the Parish Office. If you have difficulty accessing it online, there are printed copies available in the

Parish Office during office hours. Barbara Squires, our VIRTUS/Safe Environment Coordinator, will gladly assist you or answer any questions: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Thank you for your faithful volunteerism and for keeping our parish compliant.

Our Day of Service at Dorothy Day Hospitality House

Our parish has been supporting the poor at Dorothy Day for over 35 years. In July, our parish team was able to feed over 150 people, and the ongoing need is great. Our day of service is the second Sunday of every month. We could use at least two more helpers. Please sign up in the vestibule if you are able to help. The sign up sheet can be found on the bulletin board. In addition, we need more volunteers going forward. Please consider this ministry, and If you are able to help in a future month, please reach out to Gladys Gannon 203-438-2521.
