Program Requirements

Diocesan
In order to ensure the safety of all young people, the Diocese of Joliet has adopted the Protecting God's Children program. Every diocesan, parish, school or religious education employee/volunteer who has contact with children is required to participate. The three hour session will empower adults and parents with new tools to help them protect children


St. Raphael
Every volunteer (over the age of 17) who works with children, in any capacity and for any length of time, must attend a session of Protecting God's Children and must complete a criminal background check. In addition, prior to registering for Youth Faith Formation, one parent from each family is required to attend a PGC session.
