"Anyone who volunteers in a Catholic parish in Las Vegas -- ranging from ushers to those who clean up litter at a church festival -- must be fingerprinted or they cannot volunteer, the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas has decreed."
"The Catholic Church has been rocked nationally and internationally by sex and child abuse scandals. And the policy was handed down to "further protect children" in local parishes, according to Rachel Wilkinson, of Rogich Communications, the public relations firm that represents the diocese."

Bishop Joseph Pepe, head of the local diocese and author of the policy is on the right track with this new policy. In fact this policy should be adopted by all churches across america, Catholic or Protestant!
I have been working with a company called ItelliCorp who offers a full range of Background Check Services. After researching many of the leading Background Check companies I found ItelliCorp to offer some of the best services for one of the best prices. You also have the privilege to work directly with Alan Larkin (Directly at 1-800-539-3717 ext. 109) who has been assigned to assist all www.securityatchurch.com blog readers.
Background checks will not stop crimes from occurring at your church; however, they do provide a tool to help you use wisdom in who you allow to serve in positions at your church or parish.
