Many of the wonderful things accomplished here at St. Catherine of Siena School are done with the help of volunteers. We thank our supportive parents, grandparents, and other terrific volunteers. For the safety of the children, the Office of the Bishop REQUIRES ALL volunteers over the age of 18 to:
1. Attend a “Protecting God’s Children” or Virtus” training session and sign the release for a background check;
-
-
- Go to www.virtus.org
- On the left side of the screen, click on “Registration”
- Click on “Begin the Registration Process” then find “Bridgeport, CT (Diocese)” and click on “Select”
- Follow the instructions on the screen to complete a user ID and password and complete the registration process.
2. Review the Safe Environments Handbook (
Linked) and sign that you have completed the review.
ALL VOLUNTEERS of any kind --in any capacity (classroom activities, field trips, volunteering) within the Diocese of Bridgeport must comply. You must complete the process even if you plan to volunteer only once during the year.
The Diocese of Bridgeport requires us to keep an updated list of persons within St. Catherine of Siena School who have attended a Safe Environments Training Session. If you have not completed the above requirements thus far but would like to volunteer at the school, please register for an upcoming session.
Many thanks for helping us to keep our records and the records of the Diocese up to date. For the convenience of staff and volunteer coordinators, we will keep records of volunteers who have completed the diocesan requirements online.
If you have any questions on the above requirements or programs, please call the school office at 203-375-1947.
