Virtus Training Classes at Our Lady of the Assumption
All employees and volunteers - that work with or around children - should attend the Virtus Training. The Virtus training must be updated every 4 years.  However, instead of the 3-hour Protecting God's Children program, people can recertify by completing the 1.5 hour Keeping the Promise Alive program.  We will be offering the recertification program after Labor Day.

Upcoming Fingerprinting Schedules
For anyone completing the Virtus training
MAY 2012 | JUNE 2012
