Parish Security Committee
T
he Parish Security Committee, comprised
of deacons who are law enforcement of-
ficers and a legal expert, was formed to assist
parishes with security needs. The Committee
has created tools for parishes to use in ad-
dressing their security plans. The tools include
a policy, an infographic, and a security check-
list for the parishes to assess their current se-
curity measures along with recommendations
to update them, if needed. The committee
members are available to do onsite evalu-
ations of parish security,medical and safety
plans, if requested.
Ecumenical Task Force on Terrorism
T
he FBI Denver Field Office, the Colorado
U.S. Attorney's Office, along with local
law enforcement partners, have partnered
with church leaders and other stakeholders
throughout Colorado to increase understand-
ing and cooperation in law enforcement
efforts to address hate crimes and terror-
ist threats. Colorado Courage stakeholders
receive training, educate each other about
identifying pre-attack activity, and exchange
information about potential threats. Leads
originated through Colorado Courage chapters
are reviewed, and appropriate investigative ac-
tions are taken with guidance and input from
the U.S. Attorney's Office and the local District
Attorney's Office. The deacon is a liaison when
incidents occur at Archdiocesan parishes and
properties and communicates to Archdiocesan
leadership about possible threats.

It's becoming that they come
back here, to the John Paul
II Center, where it all began.
For many of our priests, they
started here. This is where
they discerned the priesthood.
This is where they formed
their hearts to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus.
