Minors Serving as Volunteers
There is a growing public awareness that the safety of minors is a top priority for organizations and institutions that educate and support them. The Church through its local parishes is one of those institutions. As such, it is important that the volunteers who work with our children are a good fit to minister in those positions. This form is available to be filled out by all minors, but must be filled out by High School youth.
