At Our Lady of Sorrows, we strive to provide a safe environment for children and to prevent their abuse in any form. All volunteers need to sign a CORI form, the Code of Conduct, and attend a two hour Protecting God's Children training. We partner with Putting Children First to provide the Archdiocesan mandated safe environment program for our children's Faith Formation program.
Our safety team includes Joanne Michalek, Sue Molinda, Mary Dee Glynn and Lisa Uebelacker who help our parish to create a safe environment for our children.

CORI Forms and Code of Conduct
All volunteers are required to sign a Code of Conduct form once and to complete a CORI form annually. CORI forms must be turned in to an OLOS staff member in person so that the staff member can verify the information by checking a government-issued photo I.D. Please turn in your CORI form during Parish Office hours (Sundays: 12:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Mondays thru Thursdays: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) or contact the parish to arrange an alternate time (781-784-2265, parish@olossharon.org).
