All volunteers must complete a safe and sacred registration prior to working with the children. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis requires that everyone who has regular contact with children in church ministry must complete the online training program called Safe and Sacred.  This requirement is part of the Archdiocese efforts in providing a safe environment for the children who participate in all of the various ministries of the church.

You must complete Safe and Sacred if you intend to be in contact with any SJOA students.  This includes field trip chaperones and drivers; classroom volunteers; room parents; office/library assistance; etc.

SJOA Administration will document your completion of the program before you are allowed to volunteer.
