In order to effectively facilitate this safe environment, all clergy, employees, and volunteers who work with minors and/or vulnerable adults are required to attend a Sexual Abuse Prevention Training, undergo a background check, sign a Disclosure Statement and become familiar with our Diocesan Code of Conduct.
