Thank you for volunteering at St Ann's to teach children or volunteer with children. Due to the treasure with which we have been entrusted, we require two background checks and a 3 hour Virtus Protecting God's Children class to be completed by all our volunteers who work with children. These standards are according to the Diocese of Kalamazoo.
On this page is the link to register for a Virtus account, sign up for a Protecting God's Children class and the link to the national background check. You will need your social security number to complete the background check. You may request an electronic copy of the background check.
Below is the link for doing an annual state background check. Once you complete this form, you must bring it to the parish and have an employee check your driver's license to verify your identity.
If you are a ministry leader, the ministry's safe environment form is below.
