The 2008 Archdiocese decree on Child Protection is now in effect.  In order to volunteer with children in any capacity, you must receive certification in the program AND successfully pass a background fingerprinting check. We say “thank you” to the over 700 parishioners who have participated in the program and are approved to volunteer!

For those who have yet to comply with the program, you will need to do so if you plan to work with children. If you have been recently fingerprinted and certified, you cannot volunteer until we are notified of the results by the diocese. This could take an unspecified amount of time based upon each individual's circumstances. Fingerprinting can be completed at IHM, 7820 Beechmont Avenue on Tuesdays 1 PM-4:30 PM; Wednesdays 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 1 PM to 4:30 PM;, and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 11:30 AM or at the Archdiocese offices on the 8th floor, 100 E. 8th Street, Monday thru Friday, 9 am to 4 pm.

Certification classes take place at our parish but may be taken anywhere the classes are offered in the diocese.  If you do go to another location for the class, be sure to note when you sign in you are from St. Thomas More.

You may also take the class at another location anywhere in the diocese. Please click here for a current schedule. You must bring a copy of your certificate to the Parish Office validating your certification.
