St. Jude Church and School take seriously the
Bishops' Charter for the Protection of Young People. This includes ensuring that the adults and volunteers who work with children in our school and parish have received the full
background screening and
education mandated by our diocese, educating our students to know what abuse is and how to report it, and asking every adult to be accountable for the
reporting of abuse.
If you are aware that any child or vulnerable person has experienced abuse, you are obligated to contact civil authorities and notify the pastor (291-0570), principal (291-3820), or the office of the Vicar General (260-244-2611). Furthermore, anyone is encouraged to
report situations that appear unsafe or raise potential concern for the well-being of our children.
