Child Protection Changes
The  United States Conference of Catholic Bishops  has revised the child protection policies which means there will be some changes to the application process.        

At this time,  new volunteer applications  will  not  be processed. Once the updated policies and forms are active, new volunteer applications will be accepted for processing.       
                                                                                           
Please note  all volunteers that are currently compliant  must also update their child protection paperwork with the revised forms in order to maintain their child protection credentials.                                                                                                                                                 
More information will be provided once all the revised policies and forms are released.
