The Catholic church has long recognized the necessity of Safe Environment awareness and training. This effort has been focused on protecting our youth and vulnerable adults. In keeping with a safe environment for all, the diocese is recognizing the need for each parish to plan for crisis management. A crisis affecting the St. Gabriel Community can take many forms, including medical emergencies, a weather related emergency or a suspicious person on our campus. Under the direction of Father Don and Parish Director Mike Seibold, we have formed the Life Safety Ministry or LSM.
The goal of LSM is to plan, coordinate and educate parish staff, volunteer ministries and parishioners in three areas of life safety or crisis management.
- Medical/First Aid – St. Raphael the Archangel Group
- Grounds and Facilities – St. Joseph Group
- Protection – St. Michael the Archangel Group
Parish staff and many existing ministries will be involved in the mission of Life Safety. Most ministries already are performing a task or mission that is directly related to crisis management. The LSM will be contacting these ministries in the near future to coordinate our efforts.
Many parishioners have specific training and talents that can help with the Life Safety Ministry. Physicians, Nurses, Paramedics and Medical Professionals come to mind along with active and honorably retired law enforcement officers. The ministry plans to take advantage of this experience in the planning of training to be provided to the parish.
We also believe a benefit will be for these groups to network and provide prayerful support for each other. If you are in one of these groups and would like to learn more about Life Safety Ministry, please contact us using the email listed below.Also, we want input from our community. If you have any suggestions, concerns or questions please send one of us an email.
St. Gabriel Life Safety Ministry, keeping all safe where all are welcome!
