Our embedded Catholic Mutual Group claims and risk manager, Dustin Heino, discusses the work of Catholic Mutual, including providing support and resources for parishes enhancing their safety and security measures. As there have been acts of violence, medical emergencies, natural disasters and other situations at houses of worship around the country, parishes need to be prepared for the worst and pray for the best. Dustin has provided numerous resources for parishes and has helped parishes form their own safety and security teams and develop safety plans in the Diocese of Sioux City. He points out it is our moral, ethical and legal obligation to be prepared - is your parish prepared? Resources available at www.cmgconnect.org.
