Because we take their safety seriously.

As a parish, we rely heavily on volunteers to help us in many ways. Oftentimes, volunteers will work with, or come in contact with, children. As an organization, we are committed to keeping our kids safe; this means that all of our volunteers must complete background checks before they can begin here at Sacred Heart. 

All volunteers who come into contact with our youth must acquire the needed background checks and complete the Archdiocese VIRTUS training.

We are here to help you! Please contact Susan Casavant (scasavant@sacredheart.us), our Safe Environment Coordinator in the parish office. She can help you through the process. Below is a list of the needed clearances and trainings, and links to get you started.
