VIRTUS/Protecting God’s Children Training

Protecting God’s Children
All adults must also attend a Protecting God’s Children Training. If you have already attended this in the past, then you do not need to repeat it; however, please have a copy of the certificate ready to share for your file. A little information about this training from the Archdiocese:

As part of our efforts to keep all our children free from abuse, the Archdiocese of Boston requires that all volunteers complete Protecting God’s Children training. Parents who may volunteer in the school also need to complete this training. The training focuses on how to create a Safe Environment for kids, how to recognize risks and indicators of abuse, and what to do if you have concerns. 

To register for a training, please go to www.VIRTUSonline.org. Click on “First Time Registrant” and then complete the registration, selecting “Boston Archdiocese MA” as the location when asked at the beginning of the process. Once you have completed your registration, you will be directed to a list of all of the upcoming trainings in the Archdiocese. You can select any training you choose unless it is specified as closed.
