Since there is a charge incurred by the parish for the background and reference checks, 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. This is now available online as well.
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.
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.
