Safe Environment Training is available throughout the Archdiocese. You can register for training at

We also have training
several times a year at St. Luke Parish.
At the training session, each participant is given a Standards of Ministerial Behavior Signature
Form. This form is to be signed and returned to the rectory. The form states "I acknowledge that I have received and reviewed the
Standards of Ministerial Behavior and Boundaries for Priests, Deacons, Religious, Pastoral Ministers, Administrators, Staff and
Volunteers. I understand and will abide by all the standards as articulated in this statement."
