Virtus & Fingerprinting
The Archdiocese mandates to volunteer or work with children in a school or parish in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, every adult must be fingerprinted and attend a Virtus class.
The Virtus/Protecting God's Children Training program educates and trains adults, including clergy, teachers, staff, parish volunteers and school parents about the dangers of abuse, the warning signs of abuse, and responding to allegations of abuse. The training program incorporates instructor-led training, awareness videos and ongoing web-based training through online training bulletins and training modules via the VIRTUS online system.
Virtus Training is free of charge. Each Virtus Training session is valid for 4 years (initial training session is 3 hours, re-certification session is only 90 minutes).
