PGC Sessions at other parishes

To view a complete list of PGC sessions within the Archdiocese of Boston, click here.  To sign up for a session, call or email the parish hosting the session (this will involve finding the parish's contact information online).  You will receive a certificate of completion at the session, and should submit a copy of the certificate to Monica O'brien, who will update our parish records.  

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).
