Archdiocesan Safe Environment Program and Protecting God's Children 

MANDATORY SAFE ENVIRONMENT COMPLIANCE 
Any adult who wants to volunteer in parish activities or ministries that include children must be in full compliance with the Safe Environment Program of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Compliance requires attendance at a Protecting God’s Children workshop, a signed Code of Ethical Conduct and submitting to a background check which will be updated in even numbered years.

Anyone working or volunteering with or around children at Our Lady of Lourdes needs to complete the following:

1. Attend a Protecting God's Children workshop  (click the link to be directed to the list of available workshops). If you attend a workshop at any location other than at OLOL, you need to give the completed forms and copy of your SS Card to Meg Turpin at the Rectory. Contact Meg Turpin with questions. 
2. Submit a form for a background check along with a copy of your social security card (bring this to the workshop). If you do not have a copy, please obtain one from the social security office.
3. You must read the Code of Ethical Conduct (click here for the full code) and then sign the last page.

If you have taken these steps at another Parish in the Archdiocese of St. Louis please contact either Meg Turpin or Julie King in the rectory office, 314.726.6200.
