VOLUNTEERING AT HOLY FAMILY |
Volunteer requirements are mandated by the Diocese of Green Bay, and there are no exceptions. We strongly encourage everyone to go through the process because volunteer opportunities will come up and your name must be on our approved list prior to the event, whether it's chaperoning a field trip, selling Scrip, or helping in your child's classroom.
-
BACKGROUND CHECK Volunteers are required to provide personal references, sign a declaration form, and authorize a criminal background check (and receive a satisfactory report) Click here to complete the background check. Enter code: gbdioc04
- All volunteers who have contact with children are required to complete VIRTUS Protecting God's Children training. Register here. The Green Bay Diocese is currently not offering in-person training, so all training is online.

SCRIP
A reminder that this Friday, December 3rd, is the deadline to turn in your Christmas Fundraising sheets. Remember, your child will receive a nut pass for every three families that place an order, and great job to the families that have already turned theirs in! Please keep in mind that shipments may be delayed and cards on backorder now that we are entering the busy holiday season. We have already been notified that Jimmy John's is out of gift cards at this moment.
The last day to place an order that I can guarantee to be filled and delivered that week will be Monday, December 13th. Orders will be taken and processed on Monday, December 20th, but if any shipment is delayed and orders can't be filled, that order will not be received until after the break, so please plan accordingly. Also, we will NOT be taking any orders the week of December 27th during winter break. Please use the RaiseRight app to purchase e-cards or reload existing cards. We will also continue to sell at both St. Agnes and SEAS parishes during the weekends at mass(as long as we have sellers) during winter break. A hard copy of this December newsletter information will also be sent home with your child this week.
As always, we are in need of volunteers to sell at the churches during the mass times on the weekends. Flyers will be sent home with links to sign up. Please don't be discouraged even if you haven't sold before or don't attend mass at one of the parishes. Once you have signed up, please email me at hfsscrip@gracesystem.org and I will give you thorough instructions to get you set up and trained right away.
