Training

Opportunities & Other Important Dates

The Diocese of Fort Worth
has had in place for a while a comprehensive program
to keep children safe within our
programs. A primary element of this commitment to providing
a safe environment is a training program for diocesan
staff and volunteers.
Within the St. Andrew Religious Education program ALL
staff and volunteers must satisfactorily complete
and, over time, maintain a certification of having
received this training. If you have never had this
training within the diocese you must take
the initial workshop. Once certified you must take a retraining workshop every 3 years to maintain that certification.
There also is a Teen Workshop for teens who
work in the program. Below is a partial list of worshops
scheduled at St. Andrew Catholic Church . For a more comprehensive list which contains workshops
at other diocesan chuches
go to the "Keeping Children
and Youth Safe Page". |
