Our work with children in our community is a tremendous privilege and an awesome responsibility. St. Jude places the highest priority on the safety and protection of children and is committed to insure their safety and well-being.  Our leaders follow guidelines established by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis utilizing the Safe Parish program for all employees and volunteers.  This program consists of training, background checks, and on-going education. 
St. Jude volunteers who work with children must comply with the Safe Parish requirements.  Please click the link below to initiate training and fulfill the program requirements. The new Safe Parish replaces the previous Safe and Sacred Program.
