CORI AND PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN
All volunteers who minister in the Archdiocese must attend the Protecting God’s Children training and complete the Code of Conduct form. In addition, every year all current volunteers and new volunteers must complete a CORI Form. Our Lady of Hope has begun the process for CORI completion for all volunteers and forms are available at the exit of the Church and on the parish porch. Contact the parish office to verify your ID (driver's license or passport) once completed.
If you will be volunteering and have not yet attended a training, the Child Advocacy office has PGC trainings churches are facilitating at Virtusonline.org, – there you will find the schedule for adults to complete their PGC requirement with the Archdiocese of Boston.
If you register for a training, please let us know once completed and forward a copy of your completion certificate to the parish office.
