(This is mandated by the USCCB in connection with the Norms for the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young Adults.) All dioceses are audited by the USCCB. Therefore, all documentation must be in place when the audit is made.

It is required that you be up to date to receive this testimonial of Suitability endorsement.
