The season of Lent offers a reminder that giving alms is one way to share God’s gifts, including sharing our time and talents. We are truly blessed by the generosity of our Collaborative volunteers, and we are so appreciative of your ministry. In order to do His 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. It is mandated that all Collaborative staff and volunteers submit a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) background screening each year to help ensure the safety of our community.
Staff members will be in the narthex of the church after each Mass during the weekend of March 7-8 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 at 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, 2026.
Thank you again for volunteering your time and talents and for your commitment to keeping the members of our Collaborative safe.
