Diocesan Event

Parish Safety and Security Presentation, at St. Francis Xavier Parish in Cross Plains, on May 10, at 2 p.m.

Primary presentation by Larry Kappel from Catholic Mutual Group. Larry travels around the country giving church/school security presentations to increase awareness of active shooters and violent intruders afflicting our communities.  He wrote in the Catholic Mutual Group Parish Safety & Security Guide “Our world has dramatically changed and nowadays, tragic acts of violence have become all too familiar." Although rare, our churches, schools and religious institutions of every size are vulnerable to violent attacks. That said, it should be our core mission to provide a safe refuge for those who wish to worship. Religious leadership has an obligation to recognize the need for safety and security at our parishes no matter how large or small. Understanding and implementing proper procedures such as awareness and preparedness is critical in your efforts to help minimize the risk of a violent attack or other emergencies.”

Who should come?

• Diocesan and parish staff members, church administration, ushers, parish council members, and volunteers, etc. throughout the diocese.

Note: A presentation specialized for school staffs will be scheduled for a later date, still to be determined.
