State and Diocesan-required Clearances for Ministers
We value the importance of protecting children and you as a minister, and also of observing state law. Therefore, all volunteers and ministers are required to stay current with state-mandated and diocesan-required clearances.
For assistance in completing your clearances, please Contact Diane Lynch at the parish office, 724-327-0647, x2507.
As Diane does not have regular office hours, the best way to contact her is via email: BYaklich@dioceseofgreensburg.org
