We believe that all human life is a precious gift from God and that we must assure all persons, especially the young and the vulnerable, are treated with dignity, respect, and offered an environment that promotes safety. The Safe Environment program at Saint Raphael strives to empower families and individuals in our faith community to create and foster safe and healthy environments for children and youth in all aspects of their lives. We accomplish this by following the Diocese of Raleigh Guidelines for the Protection of Minors.
