Protecting Vulnerable Adults

Many people give of their time and talent in parish ministry to our brothers and sisters who are elderly, suffering from illness or living with disability. In order to ensure clear understanding of roles and boundaries, proper screening, and good support for those engaging in ministry with vulnerable adults, the archdiocese has established the Essential 3 (E3) requirements:

  • Background Check
  • Code of Conduct
  • Safe Environment Training

Questions? Contact the Safe Environment Coordinator at your parish.

A vulnerable adult is a person with an illness or other physical, mental, or emotional condition that makes the person unable to defend or protect him or herself, or get help for him or herself if abused.
