Anyone volunteering with youth or vulnerable adults must complete the Essential 3 requirements (see below). Parish staff or your volunteer leader will contact you if you need to complete the Essential 3 requirements.

Please contact Jessica Myran, Director of Mission at [email protected] for more information about volunteering. 

Essential 3 REQUIREMENTS 

All clergy and parish, school and Archdiocesan employees, as well as all volunteers who have either regular or unsupervised interaction with minors or vulnerable adults, must complete and maintain these online Essential 3 (E3) requirements:

  • Background Check
  • Code of Conduct
  • Safe Environment Training

Re-credentialing is required every three years. To ensure completion of these requirements before working or volunteering, or to confirm your status, contact the Safe Environment Coordinator, Ali Chalupsky, at [email protected] or 651-429-7771, option 1.

REPORTING ABUSE

St. Mary of the Lake is devoted to creating safe environments for all to feel welcome. Protecting children, youth and vulnerable adults is of the highest importance. If you suspect abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult, your first call should be to law enforcement. If danger is imminent, call 911.
