Protecting God's Children & Youth
All parish volunteers who have any contact with children through their ministry/ministries or who perform a ministry where children may be present must conform to the policies set forth by the Archdiocese of Chicago's Office for Protecting Children and Youth. These policies require that volunteers complete an Illinois Child Abuse & Neglect Tracking System Form, read and sign the Archdiocesan Code of Conduct Form, and complete a Virtus Training Workshop. In some cases, Mandated Reporter Training may also be required.
