Safe Environment Week: The Archdiocese of Milwaukee will recognize April 19-25 as Safe Environment Awareness Week. Each year in the month of April, which is known around the country as child abuse prevention month, we dedicate a week to elevating the general awareness of the Church's efforts to keep our children safe. Our Archdiocese is committed to maintaining safe environments in our parishes and schools through adult child abuse prevention training; criminal background checks for all clergy, volunteers working with minors, and employees; safety training for children in each grade level; and adhering to all mandatory reporting requirement laws. Please read Archbishop Grob's proclamation for more information.
