THANK YOU for your interest in volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School. The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend requires that all volunteers working with children or teenagers on a regular basis go through a screening & training process to ensure the safety of the children and teenagers at our parish & school.
If you would like to complete the Safe Environment training process as a new volunteer, or if you have volunteered in the past and need to ensure your safe environment certification is up to date, please contact the school office (ext. 213).
