The entrance to the school is limited to the main school gate ONLY. You will not be able to enter through the Ministry Center hallway.

GET READY TO VOLUNTEER
To volunteer in any capacity, the Diocese of Orange requires all volunteers at our school to be fingerprinted and have safe environment training prior to working with our students. Please contact Marisa Villamor (mvillamor@olqa.org) at our school office (949) 644-1166 for testing site locations and information. Fingerprinting through the Diocese of Orange need only be done once. After being fingerprinted, volunteers need to log on to www.CMGconnect.org to complete their safety training in two areas: Safe Haven - It’s Up to You and Defensive Driving Curriculum. A certificate of completion must be printed for both and submitted to the school office. The online safety training program needs to be repeated every 3 years.
