Child Safety and Safe Environment

Providing a safe environment for the children of St. Jude Syro-Malabar Catholic Church is a key focus of our safe environment program and required per guidelines outlined by the Diocese. As a Parish we are committed to providing a healthy, loving and an upbuilding environment for the children that we, along with their parents, are forming into the future adults of our diocese and society.

Everyone who enters our church facility must experience an environment of prayer and comfort and hence, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of minors and vulnerable adults.

To this end, all ad hoc activities (and extended activities such as practices for Parish events) that involves minors and uses the church facility, should be recorded and conducted under the supervision of adult volunteers who are trained (Virtus) and have cleared background checks.

Use this form to submit requests and please wait for approval within 48 hours, before use of facility. Please plan accordingly. In case of emergency, please contact Fr. Nicholas (Parish Vicar) or Site Admin Ms. Smitha Regi at – Stjudenva.safe.environment@gmail.com).
