As part of the Decree, employees and volunteers must also submit to a criminal background check. Volunteers are required to complete the background check one time only online with Selection.com from within their SafeParish™ account. Only teachers, clerics, staff, and those who have lived outside of Ohio will need to be fingerprinted.
The cost of the background checks are $25. This fee will be paid by the parish through a Fastrax Token. Each token will have a corresponding number much like a “coupon code.” A volunteer may call the parish office or send an email requesting a token.
Visit the Archdiocese website for a full description of the Archdiocesan Decree on Child Protection, or contact the parish office.
