St. Richard of Chichester
As mandated by the Diocese of Worcester it is our parish responsibility
to ensure that we offer a safe place for our children to learn and worship.
Therefore all church staff, Eucharistic ministers and parish volunteers are
required to complete the following:
A CORI background check which is submitted confidentially
through
the Diocese Office of Healing and Prevention.
Read the Code of Ministerial Conduct and return a signed
acknowledgement form to the parish office.
Attend a Safe Environment Training workshop that educates
adults about detecting and reporting child and adult abuse.
Your speedy completion of these requirements will ensure that our parish is
in compliance with Diocese of Worcester mandate.
For more information please contact our Safe Environment Coordinator, Mrs.
Kathy Chiavaras at 978-365-5635.
