Youth Protection - Clearances for Ministers
Parish life is made possible by our volunteers and we are so grateful for all they do. Your cooperation enables our parish to continue to serve the needs of our parishioners and our community. Saint Agnes follows the requirements of the Diocese of Greensburg regarding volunteer clearances. These clearances meet and exceed the PA Child Protective Services Law (CPSL) and must be renewed every 5 years. Thank you for volunteering at St. Agnes Parish.
