We are truly blessed by the time and talents of our Collaborative volunteers, and we are so appreciative of everyone’s ministry. In order to do God’s work, the Collaborative must adhere to the safeguards that have been established by civil and Archdiocesan authorities to protect our children and youth as well as other vulnerable parishioners.
Each year in the Spring, all staff and volunteers age 18 and older (including Eucharistic ministers and lectors, choir members and musicians, members of councils and commissions, ushers and counters, other Mass volunteers, etc.) must complete an annual Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) background screening (except for Religious Education and Youth Ministry volunteers who complete their screening in the early Fall), as mandated by civil and Archdiocese of Boston authorities.
Staff members will be in the narthex of the churches after each Mass this weekend, April 6-7, to assist volunteers in completing an annual CORI form. Since it is necessary for staff to verify the information provided on the CORI, please be prepared to show a government-issued form of identification (such as a driver’s license.) If it is more convenient to complete this requirement during the week, staff are available in the Collaborative Offices at 39 Washington St. between the hours of 8am-4pm, or you may call either parish office to make an appointment.
Please arrange to complete this requirement by April 30, 2024.
Thank you again for volunteering your time and talents and for your commitment to keeping the members of our Collaborative safe.
