 Protecting
God's Children & Background Checks
VOLUNTEER INFORMATION FOR WORKING
WITH
CHILDREN AND YOUTH OF THE PARISH
An important goal of the
Catholic Church is to prevent future incidences of sexual abuse of children by
anyone associated with the church -whether ordained, staff or
volunteer. Working toward that goal, we at St. Matthew follow the
Diocese of Columbus Safe Environment Program which states all volunteers,
age 18 years or older, are to complete the following requirements prior to
working with children
Thank you to the many people who have completed the
three requirements for volunteers working with children in our
parish. Volunteers are
indispensable to our programs. If you are interested in
working with our young people, the expectations for volunteers
are:
1. To complete the
Volunteer Application
.
2. Attend a
Protecting God's
Children Session
3. Submit to a
Criminal
Background Check (BCI or FBI check)
