All volunteers for Sunday School, Saint Peter School, Children's Liturgy, Scouting, CYO, and any other ministry involving children must complete child-safe training, including fingerprinting. Here is a clear, step-by-step overview of how to complete your Child-Safe Certification.

Because this is the last fingerprinting session hosted at Saint Peter’s for the 2026-27 school year, it is strongly recommended to complete all steps as soon as possible. Fingerprinting is by appointment only -- no walk-ins will be accepted.
