The Diocese of San Jose is fully committed to protecting our children (minors under age 18), and vulnerable adults. In accordance with this commitment, is the obligation of every diocesan institution and Catholic school operating with recognition of the Bishop of San Jose to assure that all personnel and volunteers are educated in the realities of child and vulnerable adult abuse.
All volunteers over the age of 18 at Saint Christopher Parish and School MUST be fingerprinted and take the Shield the Vulnerable on line course.
Fingerprints can be taken at:
