The PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN Program:

Out of concern for the safety and well-being of children, every diocesan, parish, school or religious education employee/volunteer who has significant or sustained contact with children is to participate in the Protecting God’s Children Program. The program is also offered to others interested in attending.

Of all the safe environment programs available, Protecting God’s Children was selected for the Dubuque Diocese. It was determined to be the best possible program primarily because it is comprehensive, professional and appealing.
