Volunteers
The All Saints Religious Education Program is a Volunteer Based Program. In order to have a successful Religious Education Program, volunteers are needed. It is required by All Saints Catholic Community that for all scheduled events, there will be a minimum of two “Cleared Adults” present with children and youth at all times. These adults may be either employees or volunteers who have been screened through the procedure outlined in the Safe Environment Program.
Each class is taught by a volunteer Catechist (no previous experience required-Training provided) with a second “cleared adult” as a moderator. If the classes do not meet this minimum requirement of two cleared adults, a substitute is recruited or the class may be cancelled. All registration forms contain an area to check off your Volunteer Position – registration is not complete until this area of the form is complete.
