In the Diocese of Pittsburgh, all employees of parishes, schools, and diocesan offices must be compliant with our Safe Environment Policy, as must most volunteers.

Each parish or school has a safe environment coordinator to assist with compliance with our child protection policies. 

If you would like to volunteer at your parish or school, see your safe environment coordinator.
