Protecting God's Children Seminars for Volunteers

If you plan to get involved in volunteer activities at SJMS, and we hope that you do, the Catholic Diocese of Columbus requires you to complete a Bureau of Criminal Investigation background check and take the "Protecting God's Children" (PGC) seminar. A Protecting God's Children seminar will be held Saturday, September 13 from 9am-12pm at SJMS in Ryan Hall.

You must visit virtus.org to register for this seminar (Diocese of Columbus). Registering also grants access to future dates and locations for PGC seminars if you are unable to attend the one held at our school. Contact the office at (614)291-8601 if you have any questions regarding this requirement.

We encourage all parents to obtain the proper requirements for volunteering at SJMS!
