St. Mary's Parish, in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois, is committed to ensuring a safe environment for parishioners of all ages to gather as a community of faith that worships and learns—without fear of abuse or harm. Specifically, we train and run background checks on all employees and volunteers of the parish and school, to ensure that no child is alone with an adult, and that children understand safe and appropriate touch. Contact the St. Mary's Safe Environment Coordinator at the parish office, 618-465-4284 x226.
