Are You an Active Volunteer in our Parish?
(Were you background screened prior to 2017?)
To facilitate this process the Diocese has made the background screening application available on-line. Within the next few weeks, you will receive an email from Virtus advising you to log into your Virtus account.

For security reasons-please complete the application in one session and be sure to hit the ‘submit’ button when completed. If you interrupt the process, you will be locked out of the system.
If you have any questions, please contact the Diocesan Office for the Protection of Children/Young People:
