One of the responsibilities of the Pastor of a Catholic parish is to ensure that: 1) Any person who is teaching/speaking to the parish is presenting the authentic teachings of our Catholic Faith; and 2) Parishioners can trust that any presenter given license to speak, in any official capacity/role, has indeed been appropriately vetted and approved by the Pastor. For these reasons, the following is Parish Policy, as of December 1, 2019: Prior to contacting someone to speak, in any official capacity, to any SPX group or organization, the Speaker Request Form (below) is to be completed and submitted to the Pastor. This form may be submitted to the parish office by USPS mail, through the parish email account (stpiusx@spxreynoldsburg.com), or in person. If approved, notification will be provided, in writing, within one week of reception of your request. Should approval not be forthcoming, the Pastor will contact the petitioner, directly. In cases in which a parish organization is considering more than one speaker, the petitioner should schedule an appointment with the pastor (again, before reaching-out to any possible candidates), to discuss the list of proposed speakers, and which may best fit the event. Thank you.
