Saint John The Baptist Parish/School will follow state and local standards of conduct and has put in place reasonable preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 at its Parish/School activity (including but not limited to summer camp.) However, even though such standards will be followed and reasonable measures put into place. Parish/School cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19.
