VIRTUS Online Training Bulletins

Beginning August 1, 2006, there will be a change regarding those required to complete online training bulletins at www.virtus.org. Those required to continue completing these monthly online training bulletins are:  

  • Priests in active ministry
  • Parish Life Administrators and Interim Parish Life Administrators
  • Deacons in active ministry
  • School Principals
  • Directors and Coordinators of Religious Education Programs
  • VIRTUS Facilitators
  • Local Coordinators of the VIRTUS program

School teachers and other employees who do not fall under one of the categories named above will no longer be required to complete the monthly online bulletins.

As in the past, volunteers will not be required to complete online training bulletins. The exception to this would be those volunteers who are directors or coordinators in religious education programs (i.e. special education, sacramental, elementary, etc.) as well as volunteers who are Local Coordinators of the VIRTUS Program.

We continue to invite anyone interested in learning more about creating a safe environment for our children to visit www.virtus.org to view the weekly featured articles there.

If you have any questions regarding the above information or the Protection of Children and Youth Initiative in general, please do not hesitate to contact the office at 651-251-7742 or cfm@archspm.org.

Thank you.
