Note for participation in ministries which have regular contact with children, such as CYO, Scouts, or Religious Education:
All Priests, Deacons, Parish Staff and Volunteers (over the age of 18) who have regular contact with children, are required to obtain and submit the Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Record Check and the Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance. The parish will pay any fees associated with obtaining these clearances. Forms are available at the Rectory Office.
These individuals must also attend Safe Environment training. This training provides those involved in ministry and service to children with a greater understanding of their role as adults in our Church to be protectors of children, models of appropriate behavior and relationships, and advocates for those who are most vulnerable.
