New Parish Safety Plan

   Last summer a group of parishioners including some Pastoral Council members, ushers, and several other parishioners, including a representative from police and from EMS, began working with Fr. Fred on a Holy Spirit Safety Plan. The purpose of the plan is, to the best of our ability, ensure  the safety of Mass attendees, children in faith formation, and staff in an emergency. The plan includes proactive, preventative steps as well as protocols for responding to an emergency. Emergencies include such events as a parishioner becoming ill during Mass, a disruptive person, sudden serious weather, notification by police of a dangerous person in the area, or a gas leak, etc.  


   Over the next few months, we will share information with parishioners about the plan in a variety of ways: from the cantor station before or after Mass, in the bulletin, on the parish Facebook page, and on the parish website. Watch for our announcements and opportunities to learn more.
