The Diocesan policy on the “Safe Environment for Children” states that “any volunteer who has routine contact on some consistent basis, recurring at prescribed times, whether daily, weekly, monthly or even seasonally must have all background checks.” Therefore, we are now required to have PA State Police and PA Department of Public Welfare background checks for ALL volunteers. All volunteers must also attend a Protecting God’s Children Workshop.
Any individual 18 years old or older who would like to volunteer at St. Louise Church or School can contact Joanne Carmassi, Safe Environment Coordinator at 412-833-1010 for more information.
