St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and School are required to meet the requirements for children's personal safety instruction outlined in both the US Bishops' Charter to Protect and the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis Protection of Children and Youth Initiative (PCYI). This means that all children/youth of all ages/grades who are enrolled in either St. John the Baptist Catholic School or Religious Education programs participate in personal safety programs in accordance with these curriculum requirements:
If you suspect abuse of a minor, your first call should be to law enforcement.
