Volunteering at St. Mary's

Thank you for your interest in serving as a volunteer at St. Mary’s Parish.  St. Mary’s Parish and the Archdiocese of Baltimore have a commitment to maintaining the trust of the faithful by providing our children and youth with safe environments characterized by healthy relationships.  With our longstanding commitment in mind, all parishes and archdiocesan Catholic schools use VIRTUS, a compliance management system that allows all parishes and schools to facilitate compliance with archdiocesan child and youth protection requirements for all volunteers who work with minors. Please contact the screening coordinator assigned to your group if you have any questions.
