 MEMORANDUM

 
TO:                             Non-Parochial Clergy & Clergy 72 years of age or older
 
FROM:                       Canon Ernie Bennett
 
DATE:                         April 2, 2012
 
SUBJECT:                  Annual Report
 
It’s that time of year again when I need to ask you to complete an Annual Report. In general you need to submit an annual report in the attached format if you:
 
§ do not serve in a parish or mission on a paid basis, or 
§ are 72 years of age or older, or
§ are retired from active service, or
§ reside in or are officiating in another diocese, or
§ are canonically resident in another diocese. 
 
You will note that in order to be licensed you must have been trained in some very specific courses:
1. “Safeguarding God’s Children” – which training may be completed online by making arrangements through your local congregation “Local Administrator” or through Marilyn Lang in my office.
2. “Safeguarding God’s People” – both units (Prevention of Exploitation and Prevention of Harassment) are offered from time to time and if there is a medical hardship they can be taken in your own home.  Please contact Marilyn Lang for information about this.
You must have completed these specific trainings in order to be licensed. 
 
I want to make this as simple as possible for you so I ask you to print out and complete this form and return it to me by May 1, 2012. I would appreciate it if you could get this to me sooner because we both know how easily these things can get misplaced if set aside. If you prefer to receive a printed copy of this memo and enclosures, please let me know and I will send this to you via U.S. Mail.
 
If you feel you have received this mailing in error please notify me so that I can correct our records. 
 
Thank you for your cooperation. Signing the form means that you certify the information is correct and (where appropriate) are applying for a renewal of your license to function as a priest in the Diocese of Central Florida and/or wish to remain in your present tenure.
