Safe Environment

Archbishop Paul S. Coakley approved the implementation of the safe environment program Safe and Sacred to be implemented beginning July 1, 2020 in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Safe and Sacred provides training for adult volunteers, clergy, staff, and employees who work and volunteer with children and vulnerable adults. Volunteer teens are asked to complete training through a separate program tailored to the teen’s developmental level. Safe and Sacred also provides a safe environment curriculum for the parents and their children.

ALL ARCHDIOCESAN/PARISH/SCHOOL EMPLOYEES & ADULT VOLUNTEERS who have contact with minors or vulnerable adults must complete the online Safe & Sacred Training including a background check. Until all steps have been completed in the online training portal, employees and volunteers may not serve at the parish/school or organization. To be updated periodically.
