FOR THE SAKE OF GOD’S CHILDREN

 Background checks are required every five years.  Everyone is responsible for creating a safe environment for our children; that is why St. John the Apostle parish is participating in the For the Sake of God’s Children program.   We will support this program to ensure the safety and protection of our children and youth.  We want to remind you that all who work with the youth in any capacity are required to have a background check.  Call the church office for more information.
