We are committed to creating a brighter future for the Church by supporting young people as they encounter and follow Jesus Christ. We believe when pre-teens and teenagers encounter Christ through the beauty of the Catholic faith, they transform the parish, community, and culture. Consider joining St. Michael and St. Gabriel Parishes as we explore the doors Christ opens to you throughout the coming months. Spend time together; having fun and building our youth-filled faith community.
Ask, and it will be given to you;
seek, and you will find;
​knock, and the door will be opened to you.

Child Protection Information
The Archdiocese uses the SafeParish platform for Child Protection training and compliance. SafeParish is an organization that specializes in training and education solutions for organizations world-wide. They have 20+ years of experience in providing child safe environment training programs. SafeParish will continue to work with our current background check provider – Selection.com. Ongoing child protection training will still be required for all volunteers and employees - it will consist of quarterly interactive video-based training instead of monthly bulletins. Please check your email for an invitation from SafeParish (administration@aocsafeenvironment.org). If you have received the message, simply follow the prompts. Otherwise, you can link to the SafeParish address and click the “Register” link to begin the process. It is your responsibility, to make sure your contact information is current and the list of locations in your account is current. You can add and delete locations by going to 'Update My Account.' 

Background Checks
All employees and volunteers MUST have background checks completed – either electronically and/or through fingerprinting. If you have questions, please contact Becky Albrinck, St. Michael Safe Environment Coordinator.
