Important Volunteer Information Protecting God's Children
PGC is now being offered in person again. For more information see virtus.org or email Rebecca Bucknam reled@saintedwards.org
Volunteers, working with children: Ohio Senate Bill 187 (section 109.574) states that a background check is required for anyone who supervises a child when no other person over 18 years of age is in the same room or, if outdoors, no other person over age 18 is within a 30 yard radius or has visual contact with the child.Therefore if you plan to volunteer at St. Edward's working with children, whether it be driving on field trips, coaching, providing childcare with any organization, or being involved in PSR or Youth Ministry, it is necessary that we have your fingerprints on file with the Diocese.
It is also required by the Diocese that persons working/volunteering with children also attend "Protecting God's Children" session. Please contact Rebecca Bucknam at the parish office at 740-587-4160 for more information about these sessions.
