Effective July 1, 2012, any individual volunteering in any capacity in our parish or school must attend a training of Protecting God’s Children and have a background check. Once you have attended the training, you never have to attend another session. However, if your background check was completed more than five years ago, it must be completed again. (The forms for the background check were included in the Fee Night packet.) Very soon we will be starting to ask for chaperones for field trips and volunteers for our lunches. To volunteer, you must meet these requirements.
Blessed Sacrament regularly holds Protecting God's Children classes. In addition to training at Blessed Sacrament, there are usually several other sessions scheduled for dates and locations in Springfield or within close proximity. Please check for an updated schedule on the Diocesan link on the right of this page.
