Smile: You’re on Camera ~ 12 Surveillancecameras have been installed at various locations within the Church and outside the Church building. The cameras were installed to deter and prevent potential vandalism, and unwarranted activity in the church and parish campus, while providing safety for all our visitors. The cameras are located at every entrance of the church, the parking lot, the plaza, handicapped ramps, office entries, and the central air-conditioning unit for the church.
