Virtus is a program created by the National Catholic Risk Retention Group in the United States with a "Protecting God's Children" component that combats sexual abuse of children in the Church.
The Diocese of Cleveland’s “Protecting God’s Children” program is vigilant in its efforts to raise awareness and protect children from sexual abuse. To report any past or present suspected inappropriate behavior toward children by priests, deacons, religious, lay ecclesial ministers, or personnel associated in any way with the Church, please contact local civil authorities and the Diocesan Response Services office at response_services@dioceseofcleveland.org or phone
216-334-2999.
All PSR, EDGE, Life Teen, and sports-related staff and volunteers, 18 years of age and up, who have never attended a Virtus Training, or whose training was over 10 years ago must attend a Virtus Training before volunteering. St. Mary of the Falls School volunteers should check in with Mrs. Rajnicek prior to registration to ensure all requirements are met.
If you have any questions, please contact:
