At Rochester Catholic Schools we recognize that our children are our most precious resource so we take extraordinary measures to keep them safe! The Diocese of Winona-Rochester has taken extraordinary measures to ensure that all of the schools, parishes and programs administered in the Diocese adhere to child protection policies. It is absolutely essential that those entrusted to our care are safe. Since 2002, over 30,000 thorough criminal background checks and screenings have been run on clergy, employees and volunteers that work with children in the Diocese. Each year, every priest and deacon, as well as thousands of lay employees and volunteers are trained through VIRTUS Safe Environment, a nationally recognized program aimed to educate adults how to recognize and prevent abuse. The Diocese of Winona-Rochester requires volunteers to take the Virtus training prior to volunteering. Please visit www.Dow.org Background check forms can be picked up at any school office or downloaded off the Diocese of Winona-Rochester website. UPCOMING EVENTS Nov 22, 2019 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM
