Child Protection and Safety Program

The Diocese, the parish and the school are committed to providing a safe environment to all children entrusted to their care. The primary support that the PTO provides to the school is volunteer power, some of which involves direct contract with the children. A critical prerequisite for such volunteer work is compliance with the Child Protection and Safety Program instituted by the Diocese of Arlington. Compliance involves application procedures, including background checks. Information and forms about the application procedures can be obtained from Ms. Corlin Hanrahan on the parish staff, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Compliance also involves completing - within 6 months of the start of volunteer work -- a PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN training program (otherwise knows as the "VIRTUS" program). More information is available on-line at http://www.arlingtondiocese.org/childprotect/child_protection.php.
