Anyone who works with children in any way and has never been fingerprinted for Archdiocese of Washington Child Protection purposes must be fingerprinted by the end of the 2019 calendar year. If this requirement is not met, you cannot serve with any ministry involving children.

You are a valuable part of our Parish, and we hope to have everyone continue to support ministries such as School of Religion, the Parochial School, Children’s Liturgy of the Word, and Youth Ministry. Rather than lose valuable volunteers, if paying this charge yourself presents you and your family with financial hardship, please present the receipt to the Parish Office for reimbursement. Reimbursements will be issued within 10–14 days of receipt.
