PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN

This is a program adopted by the Diocese of Reno in response to the pedophilia scandal. 
One of the aims is to inform staff and parents of ways to protect children from abuse.   This
program is mandated for all paid staff members, including clergy, and all volunteers who
work regularly with children.  Those who definitely need to attend have received a letter
stating this.  These sessions are open to anyone interested in this serious situation. 
All the awareness sessions for "Protecting God's Children" are listed on the
Reno Diocese website   www.catholicreno.org
You are welcome to attend any session, but please register with the hosting parish. 
The above website has much information on the Diocese, please visit it.

SUPPORT GROUPS

Journey Together (if you have lost a loved one) and One Day At A Time (for those with cancer)
are support groups that Sr. Marie facilitates.  She will continue them, but you need to call
her for an appointment, as they will not be at regular designated times as they were in the past.
Please call Sr. Marie at 882-1968 to set up an appointment.

ENGAGED COUPLES PROGRAM

We are in need of some volunteer couples in good marriages to be part of our Engaged Couples
program.  You will meet about six times a year with an engaged couple, using a prepared program,
as they go through our pre-marriage process.  You must be practicing, registered members of this
parish who believe in marriage and want to pass that on.  Married couples fluent in Spanish are
especially needed.  Call the parish office, 882-1968, and leave your name and phone number.
