“The church community has a special obligation to children [sic, and vulnerable adults] that it carries out with seriousness. In the church’s ordinary life, children are educated in the faith and initiated into the church’s sacramental life. Parishes devote significant energy and resources to the development of their young members, and countless individuals have dedicated themselves to ministering to youth. Everyone in the community has a responsibility to protect children [sic, and vulnerable adults]—parents, clerics, educators, youth ministers, volunteers working with youth, even youths themselves, and adults who are not directly involved in work with children.”   Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington’s Decree in response to the USCCB’s directives, November 1992.

The parishioners, students, visitors and employees of Good Shepherd Church, School, and Preschool Academy will have a better chance of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest because of our Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in all areas of the Parish.

They are located:
In the gathering area of the church near the water fountains
Near the school office (next to the copier)
In the lobby of the gym near the front doors
In the cafeteria of the Parish Life Center (next to the drink station)
In the entry of the Preschool Academy unit with the red awnings  

Each AED has pads for adults and children. AEDs are safe and easy to use, making it possible for non-medical personnel to provide rapid defibrillation for victims of all ages.

The AEDs are part of our parish’s CPR and AED program that trains staff to recognize a cardiac emergency, perform CPR and use the device to administer a shock to the heart. We want to be sure we can effectively respond to any medical emergency that occurs on our property.
