VIRTUS Child Protection
All employees are required to have an approved B4 form, approved fingerprints, completion of the VIRTUS Child Protection Training class, and an approved online background check prior to having any contact with children.
All volunteers are required to have completed the VIRTUS Child Protection Training class and have an approved online background check prior to having any contact with children.
To register for the VIRTUS Child Protection Training Class please visit www.virtusonline.org
After attending the class you must then contact Mel McWilliams in the parish office to complete the online background check. This new procedure will ask you to use your own computer to supply vital information. You will log in to your VIRTUS account and select the "Toolbox" tab. From there, choose "Selection.com Background Check", a completely secure website.
The parish will be notified when your background check is complete.
Attending the VIRTUS training class, completing the online background check, and remaining current on the continuing education bulletins will be necessary for volunteers to remain compliant with the Decree on Child Protection. Failure to do so will result in suspension of your volunteer status.
