Crisis Information
Every parish religious education program in the Archdiocese of New York is
required to have a crisis plan in place. A Crisis Management Plan can reduce the onset of panic, which is one of the chief
dangers of a crisis, by assigning responsibilities and offering a blueprint for action. No one plan can address the full-range
of crises which a program might face, but a master that is flexible enough can provide guidance for any crisis.
The Crisis Plan enables students and adults to cope with serious conditions
and traumatic events. In the event of a crisis requiring the students to leave the classroom building, children will be relocated
to the church and/or rectory where they may be picked up by you, the parent, or other person as you've designated on the back
of the registration form. Depending upon the seriousness of the crisis, you will be informed via telephone or newsletter,
and/or possibly the radio.
Be sure that we have an emergency number on file in our office where you can
be reached in the event of an emergency.
