Decree on Child Protection

 

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati Decree on Child Protection requires all employees and all adult volunteers (those over 18) who work with children on a regular basis to complete a background check and attend the Child Protection Class.  

 

If you are volunteering or planning to volunteer to work with children at IHM, please get a background check by being fingerprinted if you have not yet done so.  Protecting our children is an adult responsibility --- please do your part by supporting this effort to attain 100% compliance in our parish community.

 

Fingerprinting is offered in the IHM Parish Office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Please check the following web address to locate other times and locations within the Archdiocese of Cincinnati where fingerprinting is available.

The Child Protection Class is offered twice monthly at IHM.  Classes are usually on the 2nd Monday and the 3rd Wednesday of each month, except July and August.  Please call the church office (388-4466) to register and confirm the times and dates for these classes.  If you click on the following web site, you can also locate the times and locations of classes offered at other locations within the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
