The people of St. Marcelline fully support the Archdiocese of Chicago’s policy to protect children and youth.

The Archdiocese requires all clergy and employees to comply with the policy whether or not they work directly with youth. 

The Archdiocese requires all volunteers over the age of eighteen who are working with children and youth under the age of eighteen to comply with the policy.

To comply with the policy you must take the following steps:

• Submit to a background check. (For this you will need a User Name and Password)
• Sign an acknowledgement that the employee or volunteer has read, understands and agrees to abide by the Code of Conduct.
• Continue ongoing training by reading the training bulletins sent to the employee or volunteer by email.
• Attend a Virtus Training Session offered here and throughout the Diocese
• Sign a CANTS Form (Child Abuse and Neglect Tracking System)
