2) Evidence the speaker is Safe Environment cleared
Speakers from within the Dallas Diocese:
1) A letter of suitability from the speaker’s pastor
2) Evidence that they are Safe Environment cleared
Speakers from outside of the Dallas Diocese:
All outside-the-diocese speakers, religious or lay, must receive approval from the diocese each time they speak, even if he/she has spoken previously at the parish.
Required documents:
1) A letter of suitability from the speaker’s pastor, superior, or bishop that is dated no earlier than 6 weeks prior to the speaking event. The diocese is very particular about the date and will not accept a letter with a date that is further out.
2) An email noting the title of the speaker’s talk

All documents, for speakers within or from without the diocese, need to be sent directly by the speaker or event coordinator to events@materdeiparish.com for processing.
