There are three entities fingerprinting for the
Diocese of Orlando at this time (the Diocese
downtown office, Catholic Charities, and St. Mary
Magdalen). You are welcome to schedule an
appointment with any of the three.
Make sure you bring your bar code (issued after you
complete the online application) and U.S. Government
issued photo I.D. used to fill out the application
to your appointment. If your prints
reject due to illegibility, you have 120
days from the date of rejection to schedule another
fingerprinting appointment without charge to anyone
(Do not schedule online - Call site directly to
reschedule).
- The Diocese will not release your
fingerprinting record until they have a record
on file indicating you have completed the Safe
Environment Training.
- Your fingerprinting clearance will be sent
via e-mail from
notifications@priderockholdings.com or
Marsha Luke. Please show a copy of the
clearance to your respective ministry leader and
if you marked any entity other than St. Mary
Magdalen on your application, please provide a
copy of the clearance to the parish office.

Safe Environment Training 20-Minute Video Instructions for Ages 15 & Up
The Diocese of Orlando is required by the United States Catholic Conference of Catholic Bishops
(USCCB) to follow certain guidelines with regard to safe environment training. As are all other
archdioceses and dioceses, we are required to undergo regular audits by the USCCB to be sure that
we are in compliance with those regulations. Therefore, all church personnel and disciples (volunteers)
working around children and vulnerable populations must complete the "Safety Environment Training"
in addition to obtaining a background/fingerprint clearance. Although the topic of the training may
be difficult to discuss, the reality must be dealt with in an appropriate and swift manner. These
trainings give us specific policies and procedures to follow in order to secure a safe environment
for all of God’s people. There are two ways in which you may fulfill the safety training requirement.
PLEASE NOTE:
You will need your barcode (The number provided to you upon completion of your fingerprinting application).
If you do not need fingerprinting but need to take the Safe Environment Training (Ex: Eucharistic Ministers),
use barcode 01020304050.
After all fields are filled in, click “Register.”
Then you will be asked to login (with your new
username/password) to the left hand side of your
screen. After you login, instructions will appear.
After the video finishes, you will see a green arrow
button on the lower right-hand side of the screen
which will take you to the 13-question quiz.
If you choose the on-line process, the Diocese
will send you e-mail notification with pass or fail
results. Please forward a copy to Melissa Findley,
Steward for Time & Talent at
MelissaF@StMaryMagdalen.org in order for us to
confirm that you have fulfilled the requirement. If
you do not have e-mail, just print out a copy and
send to the parish office via mail, fax, drop box,
or collection basket.
