The Diocese of Fort Worth requires that those who serve the Church including volunteers must complete the Diocesan Safe Environment Program. The purpose of the program is to help the people of the church become the eyes and ears of the community to make sure we are doing everything we can to keep our whole community safe from all forms of abuse.

Prior to starting parish service ALL clergy, religious, lay employees and volunteers must complete the Safe Environment Awareness Training which is renewable every    2 years. See Complete Diocesan Requirements
