Safe Environment for Our Children
Parish/ Diocesan Policy
Our diocese requires that we register all parish volunteers so that we can serve those in our care responsibly and effectively.
Volunteers should be aware of the Diocese Child Protection Policy.
You can begin to volunteer once you have submitted the three signed, dated forms immeciately below together with your proof of Virtus attendance to the Parish.
- Volunteer Service Reguest Form
- Volunteer Screening Consent and Disclosure Forn
- Certificate of Attendence at Virtus.
Register for your Virtus Training Online. Be sure to choose “Rockville Centre (Diocese)” as your organization. It will give you the list of current classes being held AND you will register online for the session you choose. Any questions, please call the Parish Center.or print out the online registration instuctions.

Privacy Statement:
All material marked “confidential” will be used only to determine a potential volunteer's suitability for ministry. It will not be associated with any other parish records, and will not be used by the parish for any other purpose, nor shared with anyone without the person's written consent. Only the pastor and professional staff (priests, deacons, directors and associate directors of parish departments) have access to confidential material, and only to the degree that it is needed to establish suitability for ministry.
