Medically-Trained Parishioners:  Any medically trained personnel (doctors, nurses, EMTs) willing to make themselves known at Mass, please contact the head usher before the start of Mass. As time goes on, and the names and faces are more familiar, this action will become either unnecessary or more routinely accomplished.  You have the thanks of all those attending Mass for both your presence and potential assistance, and the improved safety environment within our church.  

     ALL VOLUNTEERS are required by the Diocese to have completed the Diocese Youth Protection Program and maintain a clearance every 5 years.

     ALL VOLUNTEERS having contact or responsibility for children have an additional set of requirements that were established by the PA Child Protective Services Law Mandates.  Please note the PA requirements are in addition to the Diocesan Youth Protection Program.

    Details regarding the Youth Protection Program and the Commonwealth requirements are posted on the OLV Catholic School website. Click here and you will be directed to the appropriate page.   

    If you are unsure of your current status or have questions, please email the Youth Protection Coordinator.
