Father Rowland established the Safety & Security Ministry in December, 2021. The Ministry is training and organizing teams to respond to emergencies such as suspicious persons, fire, weather events, and medical emergencies.
The leadership is actively seeking volunteers to help in the areas of Security, Medical, and Fire and Building Operations. No particular skills are required. You will not have to carry a gun to be on the Teams. Team members will need to pass a background check and commit to some training and teamwork, but the Ministry will stick to the essentials and respect the value of your time. Members will have access to additional training and education in the future.
There is a clipboard with a signup sheet, and a copy of this announcement, on the table by the entrance to the Church. If you put your information on the signup sheet, we will get in touch with you.
We will ask you to complete a one-page application form, posted under "Documents" on this page. Please complete it then send it to [email protected] or [email protected]. If you have a License to Carry a Handgun, we ask you to provide a copy to show you have achieved a basic level of training and marksmanship, and have passed a background check.
We will keep you posted. We will also make periodic announcements to the parishioners, explaining basic procedures such as evacuations or sheltering in place.
