VIRTUS

The Protecting God's Children training program for adults is a three-hour awareness session that instructs adults on how to protect children, and that it succeeds only because of a continuous awareness and vigilance on the part of each of us.

This is a reminder that all volunteers in Catholic Schools must attend VIRTUS training. This includes any parent who will have any interaction with a child in a Catholic school. After attending the class, the only other requirement is to register online that you attended.

We have scheduled one VIRTUS class a month for the 2012-2013 school year.
