It is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment which is safe and nurturing. In order to achieve this, the Diocese of Dallas has a Safe Environment Program that implements training, screening, background checks and other procedures that are designed to protect our children and vulnerable adults.
 
All persons interested in volunteering in the classroom, on field trips, or on the playing field, must first be screened and cleared through the program.
 
Below you will find instructions listed for both NEW and RETURNING families/volunteers.
