Ethics and Integrity in Ministry

- Parents Corner

On January 1, 2002, the Catholic Diocese of Austin instated policies on Ethics and Integrity in Ministry (EIM). EIM compliance is required of all clergy, religious, seminarians, diocesan employees, parish and Catholic school employees, and lay persons who volunteer in ministry with minors or vulnerable adults, or any ministry, program or organization that serves youth or vulnerable adults in any manner, or functions at a time and place where they are typically present. To be a volunteer, one submits an EIM Application for Ministry (one time only) and attend an EIM Workshop every three years.

If you plan to volunteer for the school in any of these capacities (room parent, classroom parties, lunch visits, intramural coach, chaperone dances, etc.), you must be in compliance with these policies in order to participate.
1. Complete and submit an online Application and criminal record check agreement. This step is only required once. If you have completed the application online in the past, all you need to do is log in and update your information.
2. Attend an Ethics and Integrity Ministry Workshop within 60 days of submitting the application. This step is required every three years. The three-hour Ethics and Integrity in Ministry (EIM) Basic Workshop is part of the diocesan EIM policies that were adopted in January 2002 and revised in August 2008. Please register ahead of time so that adequate materials may be available.
