The personal safety of youth and vulnerable adults is of the utmost importance to the Diocese of Palm Beach and St. Peter Catholic Church. 

Every Diocese of Palm Beach faculty and staff member – including teachers, priests, deacons, and even volunteers- must undergo a background investigation and complete Safe Environment Training sessions if they are in contact with children or vulnerable adults.

The Diocese of Palm Beach requires annual safe environment training for all children enrolled in diocesan Catholic schools and parish religious education programs.  In age-appropriate lessons, the children will learn about God’s love for them; personal space; treating ourselves and others with respect and care; safe and unsafe touches; and how to get help from a trusted adult if needed.  The lessons will be taught every year.
