Second Graders Care!!

Mrs. Graves and Mrs. Roginski’s second graders and their families were very busy this fall!

Both classes raised awareness and money for Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse. The students created “Chemo Care Kits” to distribute to the young patients and their families.

The kits included blankets, comfy caps, socks and lotions along with fun sticker books and word searches. The students drew pictures and made cards they thought the young patients would enjoy. There were many smiles on the faces of the patients and their families!

Safe Environment Week 2023 +

Wednesday, November 22, 2023

This year, the Diocese of Syracuse celebrates the 20th anniversary of its Safe Environment and Victim Assistance Programs. The programs success in protecting our children, young people, and vulnerable adults is due to the combined strength of child sexual abuse prevention training, the Child and Youth Protection Policy, and the Diocesan Code of Conduct.

Safe Environment Week is a time to acknowledge our clergy, members of religious orders, diocesan employees, volunteers, and so many others in the community who work tirelessly together toward a common goal: to prevent sexual abuse not only in our parishes, schools, or agencies but also in our neighborhoods and communities.

On behalf of Most Rev. Douglas J. Lucia, the Office of Safe Environment staff, and the Diocesan Safe Environment Committee, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who remain steadfast in their commitment and vigilance in protecting our children, young people, and vulnerable adults from harm.

For more information about the Safe Environment efforts on the prevention of child sexual abuse, visit www.syracusediocese.org.
