"Certainly children are a gift from the LORD..."
--Psalm 127:3

All volunteers and employees who work with children at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish must be in full compliance with the Safe Environment Program.  This includes:

• Attending a Protecting God’s Children workshop,
• Undergoing a background check updated in even-numbered years,
• Having an FBI fingerprint check if you have lived outside of Missouri within the past five years, and
• Signing the Code of Ethical Conduct. 

These requirements are mandated by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops and are followed by every diocese in the country.  The policies are the Church’s attempt to ensure the suitability of all adults who work or volunteer around your children.

BRING YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD TO THE WORKSHOP:  If you do not have a copy, please obtain one from the Social Security Office.
