Fingerprinting for Volunteers

A background check (fingerprinting) is required for all clerics, employees and volunteers.  Anyone who was fingerprinted before VIRTUS began, does not need to repeat it unless he/she has changed the location at which he/she works or volunteer or  if he/she has been officially listed as inactive for more than one year.  In either of these cases, a new background check (fingerprinting) is required.  Also, a signed FP-1 is required if one wants the parish to pay for the background check.  Without it, the employee or volunteer will need to pay out-of-pocket when he/she is fingerprinted.   Fr. Armstrong, Steffany Reid (parish office), Mr. Jack Corey and Deacon Bob Schroeder (school office) are authorized to sign the FP-1.   Please call ahead when the FP-1 is needed.
