All volunteers must attend a one-time "Protecting God's Children" class through the Archdiocese of Detroit and complete a "Criminal Background Check".  You can register for a PGC workshop at www.virtus.org.  Criminal Background Check forms are available in the school office.

High School students that wish to volunteer at St. Mary School must attend a Called to Serve class. Learn more about Called to Serve by downloading an information packet.

Volunteer requirements

The families of St. Mary students in Kindergarten through Grade 8 will need to provide 12 hours of volunteer service and 4 lunch duties per school year  These may be accumulated through participation in activities offered within the school. The hours will be calculated from September 1st - May 24th of the current academic school year.
