Virtus Training and VolunteeringWe are excited to be starting some of our in-person programs and ministries again!
We can not do it without your help, so if you are thinking of volunteering please read
the following information to keep our children and vulnerable adults safe.
In response to the Charter for Protection of Children and Youth, the Archdiocese of Minneapolis and St. Paul offers online training sessions for all adult volunteers having regular and/or unsupervised contact with children and youth. The program specifically addresses how entire Parish and School communities can protect all of God’s children from sexual abuse.
This program is called: VIRTUS: Protecting God’s Children
It is required training for all volunteers working with children, youth, and vulnerable adults. Virtus consists of online training, a code of conduct, and a background to be completed online at virtusonline.org.
If you are a first-time registrant the process will take about 1 ½ hours to complete. If you already have an account you might need to have it reactivated and renew your training and background check. With COVID restrictions this past year many accounts have lapsed and became inactive so please call Juanita Menke at the parish office at 952-445-1319 with any questions.
Thank you for being willing to step into a volunteer role and help to further God's kingdom in a safe environment for all!
