KEEPING OUR CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS SAFE

Thank you very much for sharing your time and talents with Holy Spirit, St. Joseph’s, and our ministries. These instructions will help you with the training and paperwork required by the Diocese of Rochester for all our wonderful volunteers who help with children and vulnerable adults. 

Adults and teens who volunteer with children, youth, and vulnerable adults at Holy Spirit or St. Joseph's are required to complete the certification. Teens ages 13-17 complete CASE certification in person every year. Adults are required to renew their certification every three years.
