Volunteer

Together, we make a difference

Parent volunteers are central to the OMC community. By sharing their time and talents, our families enrich the student experience, support our teachers, and bring many of our traditions, activities, and events to life. Whether helping once a year or on a regular basis, every volunteer plays a part in making OMC a welcoming, connected community

Obtaining Clearances

All OMC volunteers must obtain clearances in order to participate in opportunities that involve students.

Clearances must be renewed every 5 years. Archdiocesan policy requires the following clearances, depending on the length of your Pennsylvania residency.

OMC follows the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Office for Child and Youth Protection requirements for all volunteers who may come into contact with children.

For questions about clearances, contact Mary Cassidy in the Parish Office.
