The Diocese of Manchester has established a Code of Conduct, known as Serving Christ, Serving Others, which requires that all “Church personnel” (priests, deacons, religious men and women, and laypeople who work or volunteer at diocesan parishes, schools, administration, and camps) exhibit the highest ethical standards and personal integrity at all times.  The Code includes, among other things, standards for appropriate conduct and boundaries when working with minors. The Serving Christ, Serving Others Code of Conduct is available here: www.catholicnh.org/code

Here at St. Patick Church all adults who work regularly with minors must fulfill the following requirements:

1. Complete a Volunteer or Employment Application;
2. Complete background checks for all states in which you have resided during the past 5 years. (School employees must be fingerprinted)
3. Complete child abuse awareness training online through the CMG-Safe Haven training site
4. Read and acknowledge the diocesan Code & Policy (which is provided at the end of the online training).

Employment/volunteer eligibility is contingent upon the results of the background checks.
