Ethics and Integrity in Ministry

On Jan. 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 adult lay persons who volunteer in ministry with minors or vulnerable adults;  or in 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 compliant, one submits an EIM Application for Ministry (one time only) and attends an EIM Workshop every three years.
 

Upcoming Workshops
No workshops are scheduled at our parish at this time.
 

Register for a workshop: To register for a workshop, please log into your EIM account. Please be advised that you do need to have an application in the EIM system in order to register for a workshop and to be given attendance credit.
