Safe Environment
Anyone volunteering to serve youth in the Diocese of Phoenix is required to be in compliance with Safe Environment regulations. If you are a new family to Saint Theresa, or have not already completed the Safe Environment (SET) Foundation Training, please schedule a class. All parents are encouraged to complete this requirement. Please click on links below for instructions . Please, Register for Foundation Classes - Walk-Ins Will Not Be Accepted!!!





The Diocese of Phoenix is transitioning to a new Safe Environment Training Platform that will be significantly different than the one previously used. The requirement to be Safe Environment Trained (SET) remains the same, parents new to the school must attend a Foundations Class and those renewing their training must do so shortly after the July 1 start of renewals.

Information will be shared as the new platform is rolled out. Please see the letter from the Diocese for additional explanation. Mrs. Beth Rons is the SET coordinator for Saint Theresa Catholic School and can be reached at (602) 840-0010 ext. 118 or brons@stcs.us.

STCS Student Cantors
As we continue to build student involvement in music ministry, students grade 4 or higher are invited to participate as the psalm cantor at school masses. Student cantors should be able to commit to personal independent preparation time, as well as a brief coaching session with the music director during the week prior to being scheduled to cantor. Concurrent participation in the school mass vocal ensemble is also required. Parents – if your student is interested, please contact Brian in the Parish Office at  bkinzie@stphx.org .
