In April 2010, Archbishop Collins announced that the Archdiocese would establish a group of lay experts to review current practices. The group has concluded their work and in September 2010, meetings were held with priests, deacons and lay staff of the Archdiocese to review the document. The safe environment protocol can be accessed anytime, along with additional resources, through our website: www.archtoronto.org. The Archdiocese remains committed to the protection of all who are within its spiritual and physical care, especially the most vulnerable.

Remember, our next municipal election will be held on Monday, October 25, 2010. To find out if you are a (Catholic) separate school supporter, contact your school board and ask for the Admissions or Assessment Office. Contact information for all boards, in addition to other election resources, is available online at: www.archtoronto.org/trustees. You can also amend your status at the voting booth if necessary. When you arrive to vote, verify that you are registered as a (Catholic) separate school supporter. If your support status is incorrect ask to have your status amended. The ballot you use to vote for other elected officials (mayor, etc.) will also include candidates for Catholic School Board Trustee. Even if you do not have children in our publicly funded Catholic Schools, you still have the opportunity to vote for Catholic School Trustees. To help educate our family of faith, Archbishop Collins has given permission for Catholic School Trustee candidates to distribute literature to parishioners departing weekend masses from now until October 16/17. Take the time to get to know the candidates and, most importantly, exercise your democratic right to vote.
