Virtus Training (Volunteer Information)

WHAT IS VIRTUS®?
 _______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People requires that each employee and/or volunteer within every parish be trained and screened if they have contact with or minister to children. The program in the Archdiocese of Chicago is called VIRTUS or Protecting God’s Children for Adults.

Additional information on VIRTUS is available at the Archdiocese of Chicago of Chicago and VIRTUS Online.

 

 

 

The Archdiocese of Chicago requires all volunteers to register for an account with Virtus, complete a background check plus additional paperwork will need to be completed in Virtus.   

Background checks are required to be updated every three years. Once registered with Virtus, you will be prompted via email. CLICK HERE for instructions.  

 

Please make certain that you complete all sections of the recheck. If you do not, you will not be compliant with Virtus.

 

Thank you for helping to keep our children safe. If you have any questions, please contact:
