Please remember our volunteer guidelines:

ALL Volunteer Requirements: To volunteer at any St. Paul’s event and receive the volunteer rate, the volunteer must have both diocesan requirements completed. NO exceptions. Mrs. Thomas will notify you if your prints are expiring this year. 

1. Fingerprints/background clearance (every 5 years)

2. Protecting God’s Children workshop (just once)

We believe parents are the primary educators of their children. Therefore, it is your right and your duty to become the primary role models for your child’s physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and psychological development. Your choice of St. Paul’s Catholic School involves a commitment and exhibits a concern for helping your child to recognize God as the greatest good in his/her life.
