We are offering a Protecting God’s Children class here at St. Matthew on Wednesday, June 5, 6:00-9:00 pm in the St. Anthony Room. The Diocesan Safe Environment Compliance program requires that for an adult to interact with minors at the school/ church he/she must meet three requirements: attend a Protecting God’s Children class; have a background check performed and complete the code of conduct (attached to the volunteer application). As a convenience, fast fingerprinting will be on-site from 5:00-6:00 p.m. to do background checks before the class starts. If you want to attend the class, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you go to
Virtus (
www.virtusonline.org), create a profile, and schedule to attend the class. Please see the information on the link below for complete details on becoming compliant:

We will be hosting another class on Wednesday, September 18, and St. Matthew parishioners are also able to attend classes at any other Diocesan location.
