Hi, we are asking for your help collecting Campbell
Labels and Box Tops for our school. We go to St.
Elizabeth Ann Seaton, in Edmond, OK. It's a long
drive every day, but it's worth it to be able to go to a
Catholic School. The Campbell and Box Top
programs help our school buy things we could not afford
otherwise. For example we were able to buy several sewing
machines and have an after school sewing class last school year.
So please stop and cut and save those labels for us. Thank you for
your help, Abigail Miles and Jessi Martin

Abuse of Minors Pastoral Response Hotline
800-522-3511 or 405-720-9878
The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City through its programs, organizations
and events, has numerous daily contacts with many children and young
people. It is, therefore important that all Archdiocesan Personnel,
clergy, seminarians, religious, employees and volunteers, protect the
rights of children and be alert to the possibility for child abuse.
Under Oklahoma State law, all individuals MUST report an incident or
suspicion of sexual abuse of a minor (person under 18 years of age) to
the civil authorities. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services has
established a statewide abuse reporting hotline for reporting: 1-800522-3511. This number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you
feel a child is in immediate danger of harm call 911.
For the safety of children and the healing of victims, the Archdiocese of
Oklahoma City provides an Abuse of Minors Pastoral Response Hotline
for reporting the abuse of a minor (in the past or presently) by a member
of the clergy or other church personnel: 1-405-720-9878. The
Archdiocesan Victims Assistance Coordinator, a licensed professional
counselor, will respond to calls to the Archdiocesan Pastoral Response
Hotline. A report to the Archdiocese does not relieve the individual of
the duty to report child abuse to civil authorities as required by
Oklahoma State Law. In Oklahoma, failure to report child abuse is a
misdemeanor punishable in law.
