What DBCR Is Doing to Support Our Families & Students
As we continue to navigate the complexities of today’s world, it is essential that every Don Bosco community member feels safe, supported, and valued.
We understand that recent developments may create feelings of uncertainty for our DBCR family. As our faith calls us to use our voice for the voiceless and vulnerable (Proverbs 31:8), we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all members of our community - regardless of background, language, or country of origin.
We will continue to provide resources and updates as this continues to evolve to ensure a safe and supportive environment for our DBCR community.
