Important Volunteer Information
Volunteers, working with children: Ohio Senate Bill 187 (section 109.574) states that a background check is required for anyone who supervises a child when no other person over 18 years of age is in the same room or, if outdoors, no other person over age 18 is within a 30 yard radius or has visual contact with the child.
Therefore if you plan to volunteer at St. Edward's working with children, whether it be driving on field trips, coaching, providing childcare with any organization, or being involved in PSR or Youth Ministry, it is necessary that we have your fingerprints on file with the Church.
It is also required by the Diocese that persons working/volunteering with children also attend "Protecting God's Children" session. Please contact Mike Millisor at the parish office at 740-587-4160 for more information about these sessions.

Childrens Programs
Childrens Liturgy
Children from approximately the age of 3 up to 4-5th grade are led in an age-appropriate worship experience. The structure of the Liturgy of the Word with children takes the same form as with that of the general assembly, except that one of the first two readings is omitted. This program is led each Sunday during the 10:45 a.m. Mass. Children are dismissed from the congregation after the Collect and led to a separate room, and return during the Offertory Song. Adult parish volunteers, dedicated to this ministry, lead this program utilizing the Children’s Lectionary and a specific program of reflection and prayer.
Vacation Bible School
St. Edward Catholic, First Presbyterian, First Baptist and St. Luke’s Episcopal Churches join together to sponsor an ecumenical week of learning and fun for children. VBS is held in June annually. Volunteers are always welcome. -
