The Diocese has instituted a new online training class titled Protecting God’s Children and Vulnerable Adults 3.2.
If it has been more than three (3) years since your initial training, you will need to take this course. You may have received an email from the Diocese about this, but very few of our volunteers have completed this. The Diocese would like us to have a greater compliance record.
Here are the steps to do the class:

On-line Class or Live Class
* For persons with a history of sexual abuse, watching the videos may cause a resurgence of memories and strong emotions that some find detrimental to their personal healing. With that in mind, you can request a written trauma sensitive version by calling or emailing: Laetitia Bridges, Director of Victim Assistance at 412-456-3093 ext. 3712 or [email protected]. (When requesting this training, you will not be asked about your personal history.)
