Child Protection

All adults who would like to volunteer with children's activities in any of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati parishes, schools or organizations must participate in the online SafeParish™ edition of Protecting Children from Sexual Abuse.  SafeParish™ educates adults who work/volunteer with or around children on the vigilance and steps necessary to protect children from child sexual abuse.  Trainees learn how to be safe adults—vigilant, educated people who protect children and young people by building a culture of safety.  Along with training each adult must complete quarterly Training Bulletins to remain in compliance with the requirements of the Decree on Child Protection.  An online Background Check must be approved by the Archdiocese before volunteering with children.

St. Susanna Adult Volunteers should contact Cathy Meyer, Safe Environment Coordinator for St. Susanna - meyerc@stsusanna.org - before beginning the process.
