It is in darkness and silence that abuse occurs and all too often it is only later that we realize that there were symptoms. Lay ministry volunteers, parents and catechists are in a special position to recognize signs of potential abuse suffered by children, the elderly or vulnerable adults, and bring it into the light. Won’t you join us in proactively protecting our most vulnerable community members? On Saturday, February 25, we will host safe environment training here at the church. All are welcome! Please pre-register online.

Take the next step in 2017 - make St. Richard’s Catholic Church your parish home! Registration allows us to communicate with you about parish programs and record emergency contact information, as well as helping us to get an accurate view of who our parishioners are and how our resources should be allocated to best serve our community in 2017!

We need cookies! You can drop them off on Sunday 11/06 or Monday 11/07. Alternatively, a $20 donation will buy a tray of 7 dozen cookies—just drop your monetary donation into the offertory basket at Mass, making sure the envelope is marked “Election Cookies.”
