Since there is a charge incurred by the parish for the
background check and references, we will not begin processing
volunteers until after they have completed the screening
form and attended the training class.
Once all elements of the training processes are completed,
your photo I D. badge will be issued. Recertification
is required each year. Your initial training date will be
at the bottom of your I.D. badge and retraining should be
completed according to that date.
If you have recently moved to St. Jude from another parish
in the Diocese of Dallas, your records can be transferred
to St. Jude and there is no waiting period. However, St.
Jude does require an initial interview with transferring
volunteers conducted by the Safety Officer. We hope this
interview will help you better understand our parish and
make your transition easier.
We are a parish family and as such, we look out for each
other; we depend on each other to help us with safeguarding
those entrusted to us by God. We thank you for your time,
understanding, and patience with this process. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
