Additional Safe Environment Requirements: If you are working with children as a coach/catechist/school volunteer and/or employee, you must complete an update on technology! The training module you need to complete is web-based. Registration information and instructions can be accessed at www.aoptraining.org . After successful completion, you will receive an e-mail notification. Please print a copy, sign it and send it into the Parish Office, attention: George Harmansky. The entire process takes about 15 minutes. Please complete ASAP so that we do not need to interrupt your stewardship service to the children of Saint Aloysius. Thank you for your cooperation. If you plan on volunteering with children and have not completed the safe environment requirements, you must complete both a PA State Police Clearance and a PA Child Abuse Clearance, and also attend a “Protecting God’s Children” program.
