  • SAFE ENVIRONMENT
      • Diocesan Child Protection
    • We are overjoyed that you want to volunteer!  The time you contribute as a volunteer is greatly valued. However, before beginning to volunteer, we need you to understand the Safe Environment Policy and complete the necessary steps to become Safe Environment compliant.

      Please contact Marilyn Chesko, Safe Environment Coordinator at [email protected]saintluke.net or (724) 266-6565
       



      PURPOSE:
      The Safe Environment Policy was created to take reasonable measures to assure that all staff and volunteers over 18 are committed to providing a safe environment for children and youth, are capable of identifying and preventing abuse of children, and have no personal history of behavior that would be a threat to children. This policy applies to all staff and volunteers over the age of 18. Church personnel is defined as all adult persons (those 18 years of age or older), whether clergy, members of consecrated life, or laity, who, as employees or volunteers, act in the name of the Church under the auspices of the Diocese of Pittsburgh or one of its parishes.
