Safe Environment Program
Protecting God’s Children

(see bottom of page for upcoming sessions)

Ms. Victoria Amoruso is the Seton manager of the Archdiocesan "Protecting God's Children" program. She may be reached via a message at the rectory - (914) 528-3547, or via email - vamarchsnow@aol.com.

The Archdiocese of New York requires everyone who regularly works with minor children to submit an “Authorization for a Background Check” form (verifying name, address, social Security number, as well as national and state sex offender’s registry checks).

We want our children to be safe and to feel safe here at Seton. Parents demand no less, nor should any parishioner! All Seton employees and volunteers are required to comply with this critical prerequisite to ministering to children. The forms are available in the rectory.

If you are a leader of one of our parish groups and have employees or volunteers who want to work with our children, make absolutely certain they get, complete and return the “Authorization for a Background Check” form, available in the rectory.

A one-time awareness session about preventing sexual abuse of children, including a half-hour "Safer Spaces" video, is an additional requirement for all Seton volunteers who work with minor children.

Remember protecting our children is everyone’s responsibility!

Employed to work with Children at Seton?

The Archbishop of New York has directed that all employees who are in regular contact with minors must submit an authorization for a BACKGROUND CHECK through the Archdiocese and have attended a VIRTUS training program. This official directive insures the safety of our children and the peace of mind of their parents.

1) To register by phone: call 212-371-1000 ext. 2814 and follow the recorded prompts.
2) You may also register online at: www.virtusonline.org.
