VIRTUS Class - June 1
Why VIRTUS? “Protecting God’s Children” The VIRTUS class is not just for those planning to teach our children. It’s about informing & empowering you to protect your children, all of our children, as well as vulnerable adults, anywhere, at every stage of life.
If you are considering taking the VIRTUS class but not sure, “jump off the fence” and please sit in on the 3-hour class (in-person or online option). A small time commitment with a BIG impact.
Parents/Parishioners—Why is this important? VIRTUS isn’t about placing blame. Many who complete the training say it gives them a deeper understanding, a stronger sense of responsibility, and the confidence to act when it matters most. if you are considering volunteering to help w/the Christian Formation program in Sept. 2025, now is the time to get VIRTUS trained. VIRTUS is more than a requirement—it’s a commitment to building a parish rooted in trust, awareness, and care.
Don’t wait. Be ready. Be informed. Be part of a safer, stronger parish community.
Next session: Sunday, June 1, 2025 from 12-3:00 PM at OLR. Questions? Contact Dave McKinnon, [email protected] or visit Flocknote and sign-up. You must also officially register online at: https://www.virtusonline.org/virtus/ -
