2. Complete and submit a Child Abuse Clearance application.  You can get 
this clearance from the office.  We are asking you to pay $10.00  when

will be mailed to your home) and you bring the original to the office to be 
copied, your $10.00 will be refunded.

3. Attend the Safe Environment Training Program (Protecting God’s 
Children).  To register for this class, please go to www.virtus.org.
