VIRTUS TRAINING
Diocesan policy mandates that all staff and volunteers who have substantial contact with children must pass a criminal background check and attend a VIRTUS training session within 60 days of classes starting.
Please call the location of the training session to verify the date and time and to register. Each participant needs a workbook to participate.
The latest dates are always available on the Diocesan Website. We will be holding this training here in our parish in the very near future. Watch this space and the bulletin for more information as soon as a date has been scheduled.
