Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them.
Matthew 19:14
Protecting God’s Children
In an ongoing effort to protect children and to provide a safe environment for all, Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church requires Protecting God’s Children training, as well as background checks in accordance with the Diocese of Columbus.
The Columbus Diocese Safe Environment Office is tasked with executing policy by assisting with reports of abuse, processing background checks, administering training, and supporting parishes and locations. The USCCB charter requires that all dioceses/eparchies have clear and well-publicized standards of behaviors and boundaries, maintain safe environment programs for all children and adults and evaluate the background of all lay employees, clergy, and all volunteers who have contact with children.
