All adults working with the youth of our parish are required to attend a Safe Environment Training and have a background check completed.  This training is mandatory and is renewed every 3 years.  If you need this training, contact the CCD coordinator or the church secretary!
 
If you are already trained and have a background check, you can renew online.  This is only for those who have participated in face-to-face initial training sessions in the past.  

Once you have completed your online renewal course, a certificate will be mailed to St. Michael the Archangel.  After the certificate is received,  at no cost to you, a background check will then be ordered.

Thank you for keeping our children safe.
