Policies for the Safety of Youth and Children

Dear Reverend Fathers and Parish Youth Safety Administrators, It is time to bring our focus back on the Policies for the Safety of Youth and Children. Every year the Parish Youth Safety Administrator is responsible for finalizing rosters and ensuring that all youth workers have completely and successfully satisfied their training and screening requirements. Every 2 years, the PYSA will need to reorder background checks for all local youth workers. We are coming up on that 2-year mark. You are receiving this email because you are a parish priest, or you are the registered PYSA. If you no longer want to be the registered PYSA please speak with your parish priest and assign a new PYSA in Armatus Administration. If you have any question on who needs to become a youth worker, please watch this video. Below you will find steps on how to navigate the Armatus Online Training website. Please Note: We are not using the Praesidium Academy at this time. Thank You to the parishes that have already taken the initiative and have started working on getting Youth Workers screened and trained. With love in the Lord, Monica Gjerde Youth, Education & Hellenic Culture Coordinator Metropolis of Atlanta
