Volunteer Paperwork

Prevent & Protect STL

Thank you for volunteering at Most Sacred Heart Church & School. Most Sacred Heart follows the Archdiocese of St. Louis Safe Environment Program – Prevent and Protect STL (P&P). Formerly known as Protecting God’s Children (PGC), the program is designed to help protect the youth and vulnerable adults of our parish as they participate in activities within our community. This process also provides a layer of protection against the possibility of false accusations for those adults who are involved in our many ministries.
