In an ongoing effort to protect children, to provide safe environments for them, the Catholic Church mandates training as well as background checks and provides further education and resources for all adults working with children.
All paid school staff must have on file both BCI and FBI background checks and must attend “Protecting God’s Children.” All volunteers must have on file a BCI background check and must attend “Protecting God’s Children” no matter how much or how little contact they have with children or youth, no matter if volunteering for the school or parish, and no matter what time of the day or night they volunteer.
