On Jan. 1, 2002, the Catholic Diocese of Austin instated policies on Ethics and Integrity in Ministry (EIM) for all employees and those volunteers who minister to youth or vulnerable adults in the diocese. These policies were revised in August 2008. All clergy and paid staff, and all volunteers working with youth and vulnerable adults, at any parish or diocesan location, are required to attend an EIM workshop every three years. In addition, you must also complete a Secure Online Application (eAppsDB) so that a criminal record check can be done.

We highly value the many volunteers who, through their generous giving of their time, talent and treasure, enrich our communities and serve our children and vunerable adults. Our policies ensure that their personal integrity is not questioned and that all of us are taking seriously our responsibility to shelter from harm those most vulnerable among us.
