Safe Environment Training

Dear Prospective Holy Spirit Ministry Member,

Thank you for answering God’s call to serve at Holy Spirit Church in Fremont!

In 2002, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops developed the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People for every diocese in the U.S. Here, at Holy Spirit Church in Fremont, we abide by this charter as set forth by our Bishop in the Diocese of Oakland.

Everyone who ministers at Holy Spirit Church, whether clergy or laity, are required to complete child protection training via Virtus Online. In this section are links to instructions and the Virtus Online training site.

For those of you who require online training assistance or prefer to complete online training in the Parish Office, contact us at info@holyspiritfremont.org or 510.797.1660.

Thank you for making Holy Spirit Parish a living example of Christ’s love.

God bless,
Fr. Ken
Pastor

Fingerprint Services

All Holy Spirit Fremont employees and ministry members must be fingerprinted.

First, select an approved fingerprint vendor closest to your local area from the list. Call to schedule an appointment.

Second, bring the “Request for Live Scan” form to your appointment.

Third, the Diocese of Oakland has hired vendors at Livescan Fingerprinting at the cost of $34.00 per volunteer. If a volunteer goes to a fingerprint vendor NOT on our vendor list, the volunteer will be charged a Livescan rolling fee in addition to the $34.00 Diocesan fee. Therefore, we encourage volunteers to use approved Diocesan vendors to avoid additional costs.

NOTE: Livescan vendors charge the Diocese $25.00 per volunteer, the balance of $9.00 is the Diocesan administrative fee to offset office costs.

Please consider a monetary donation of $34 to Holy Spirit Church to cover the cost of the fingerprint fee and indicate ‘fingerprint donation’ when you drop it off at the Rectory Office. The fingerprint vendor will not request nor accept donations. All donations must be received by the Rectory Office.
