VIRTUS
Protecting Gods' Children
We are all created in Gods' image and likeness. There is a scared dignity that needs to be accorded to every individual regardless of age. One of the responsibilities of the adults in our communities is to provide an environment of love, respect, and care for all our children and youth.
The Virtus Protecting Gods' Children program is part of the Diocese of Richmond's Safe Environment program. This program outlines the process whereby each parish and the entire diocese have created and will maintain a safe environment for all our children.
Every employee of the Diocese of Richmond and all volunteers that work with children and youth must attend a Protecting Gods' Children awareness session. After the initial session there are monthly bulletins on the internet that are to be read. For those unable to obtain access to the internet there are copies of the monthly bulletins in the parish and school library.
To sign up for a Virtus session go to www.virtus.org
Please help us to protect our precious children from the horrors of sexual abuse and ensure our parish and school is a safe place for all!
