Anyone who volunteers in St Mary’s must have a volunteer file in the parish office. All volunteers are asked to check with their Ministry leader to make sure there is a file and it is up to date. Each end of summer and early fall the Volunteer Screening Committee goes over the current list of volunteers to make sure we are up to date. As members are added or deleted we update the list.
Low risk designations only require the front and back of the yellow Volunteer Information Form (VIF) which can be obtained at the church office or Bob and Mary La Salle (rlasalle @ cogeco . ca).
Medium risk volunteers must also fill out page 2 (references) of the VIF.
High risk volunteers must also complete page 3 for a police check plus a police check form (Service Order Form) and provide 2 pieces of identification (the first must be a government issued photo form [driver’s license, passport etc.] and a second form with first and last name).
Ministry leaders of all groups are responsible to provide their members with the “Responsible Faith Screening” Form which can be obtained from the sources noted above. Contact Mary or Bob La Salle (324-8568 or email) if you need help. If there is a coffee Sunday in September we will have a table set up for updating files.
