Virtus

To assure a safe environment for the protection of our children, the Diocese requires VIRTUS certification for all adults who work with our young people, including parents with children in our Christian Formation classes or in F.I.R.E., Catechists, Youth Ministry workers, Children’s Liturgy leaders, etc. The one-time VIRTUS training sessions are offered at various times and locations in our area. The training is free, but online registration is required.
