SAINTS JOACHIM AND ANNE PARISH

ANNE PARISH 

Please keep in mind, in these extraordinary times, that although we cannot all attend Mass, the Church’s financial obligations remain. We ask that you continue to support the Church as you are able and look to the time when we can all gather together again in faith. Some options:

• Mail or deliver offertory envelopes & Parish Share pledges to the church office (or secure mailbox).
• Set up the parish as an automatic bill payee through your online banking.
• Donate through Online Giving.  Click on the ONLINE GIVING tab on the bar at the top of the webpage, and complete the online form.  Thank you!

Submit your email address by clicking here to receive exciting updates about parish life!

• You are asked to wear a mask if you are not fully vaccinated, and to use hand sanitizer as needed. 
• The Collection will be taken as you enter church, the Offertory Procession is eliminated and please no personal contact at the Sign of Peace. 
• The ushers will guide you one pew at a time to receive Holy Communion.
• Those wishing to receive Holy Communion other than in the hand are asked to receive last.  Gloves are not to be worn.

The Reporting Process

• Everyone is a permissive reporter and is encouraged to make a report of suspected child abuse. Reporters of suspected child abuse fall into two categories. 
• Mandated reporters are those adults who come into direct contact with children in the course of their employment or volunteer of a regularly scheduled program or activity, who accepts responsibility for a child.
• The trigger to report is a reasonable suspicion that a child is being abused.  Permissive reporters may report anonymously; mandated reporters may not.

• Reports of suspected child abuse are to be made immediately.
• If the child is in imminent danger, call 911
• Reports may be made orally by phone or electronically
  • Oral reports are made to ChildLine at 1-800-932-0313 which is available 24/7
  • Electronic reports are made via CWIS Self-Service portal at www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis
• Inform the supervisor or person in charge of your program that a report was made
