If you have not attended a Virtus awareness session, Protecting God’s Children for Adults, it must be taken before 08/31/2020. This deadline applies even if the old Safe Environment course, Safe and Sacred, shows it does not expire until after 08/31/2020. There is no Safe Environment “grace period” for volunteers or employees. You must always be current with all aspects of Safe Environment in order to volunteer.

To volunteer, you must:

• Register for and attend an Awareness Session at a location of your choosing every two years. Due to COVID-19, Zoom classes are currently being  offered in addition to in-person classes
• Complete a Volunteer Application Packet
• Have a current background check on file
• Have a current driving/credit check on file if you drive or handle money (respectively) for your ministry
• If you are a new volunteer, you will not be able to volunteer until your references have returned the reference letters for you.

If you have already attended a Virtus awareness session and will be needing to renew, click here.

If you have any questions about where you are in the process, please contact Tasha Allen at tallen@sjtanrh.com.

You are invited to participate in the 2020 Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance (CMLA) Virtual Summit, featuring Dr. Tim Gray, president of the Augustine Institute, along with other great speakers.

The virtual summit will be streamed for free on Saturday, June 27, 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (CDT). This year’s theme is Knowing and Living the Post–COVID-19 New Normal. CMLA’s Virtual Summit will be a powerful day for reflection and action.

We anticipate that many individuals and communities of men will participate in the 2020 CMLA Virtual Summit. We hope that we can count you among them.
