  The Archdiocese of Indianapolis utilizes Safe Parish as part of its ongoing commitment to the care and protection of children.
  
  All priests, deacons, employees of parishes, schools, and agencies of the archdiocese, and volunteers who have contact with children are required to complete the training prior to their first day of employment, service or ministry, even if they have taken Virtus, Safe & Sacred, or other child protection programs at another Diocese or Archdiocese. All volunteers (parents, grandparents, friends, etc.) must complete Safe Parish including the background check before they will be allowed to work with students, participate in classroom activities, or attend field trips.
