The registration for the Parish Internship Program is finally ready. There are four pages to the registration form. Each page needs to be completed as listed below:
-
Fill out your personal details, select a ministry and read the Program Overview
-
Read and sign the Code of Conduct agreement; Parent/Guardian Signature is required for interns aged 16 & 17. Take your forms to the Parish Priest for his Endorsement. In some parishes there may be more than five people interested in the program, in this case the Parish Priest will decide whom he wishes to endorse. The endorsement is not based on first applications into the Diocese but who is selected by the Parish Priest as the parish nomination. The Parish endorsement is necessary for your registration to be accepted by the Parish Support Unit.
-
You must sign the Prohibited Employment Declaration, as this applies to all volunteers (including interns) and staff who engage in ministry within the Diocese of Broken Bay.
-
100 Point Check - your registration will not be accepted if your Parish Priest or his nominated representative has not signed this form. Take the original documents for the 100 points into the parish office, they will check them then sign the form. Do not send original documents to the Diocese, just the 100 point check form signed by your parish.
All completed registration forms should be posted to
