Ethics & Integrity in Ministry

Please click here if you need information on reporting abuse or submitting a notice of concern.

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, 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. 

For more information on the EIM progrm or to submit an application and find workshop, please visit: https://austindiocese.org/eim

The Catholic Center will host a workshop on:
Tuesday, February 12th, 6-8pm, Basement

 We look forward to have the Catholic Center 100% compliant this school year!

YOU MUST BE EIM COMPLIANT IF YOU ARE:

- An employee of the Catholic Center (full-time or part-time)
- A FOCUS Missionary
- An officer of any Catholic Center student group
- A liturgical minister of any kind (Mass Coordinator, Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Acolyte)
- A music minister of any kind
- A member of STRONG (ALL members, not only officers)
- Any volunteer with Austin State Supported Living Center
- Any volunteer with Children's Religious Education


If you have already taken one of these workshops, you will need to "refresh" your status by attending an additional workshop once every three years. If you are not sure about your status, please contact Holly Hunt.
