Archdiocese to hold VIRTUS Protecting God's Children programs

The Archdiocese of Indianapolis is holding VIRTUS Protecting God’s Children workshops in parishes.

VIRTUS is an education and awareness program that the archdiocese has implemented for employees and volunteers who work with young people to teach them more about child sexual abuse and how to help prevent it.

Employees and volunteers should register in advance for the programs online at www.virtus.org and let their parish know if they are attending. They also should check to make sure the time and date of their parish program has not changed.
