STAND is the certification/education program for child sexual abuse prevention adopted by all Archdiocesan Catholic parishes in Baltimore.  Completion of the STAND interview/application/certification process is a requirement for many volunteer opportunities at St. Joseph's. 

Please contact the Parish Office for dates and times for videotape-based training at the parish.

The Archdiocese of Baltimore offers STAND training for volunteers online as an alternative to the in-person "Videotape-based" sessions offered at area parishes.

Instructions for the online training are available here.  To avoid confusion, please read the entirety of the instructions prior to starting the online training.
