The Archdiocese of Seattle requires all Church Personnel (defined as all clergy, all employees, and all volunteers who have ongoing, unsupervised contact with minors and vulnerable adults) to take part in our Safe Environment Program in three ways. They must:
- Successfully undergo a criminal background check every three years
- Complete the Protecting God’s Children course within 90 days of beginning service
- Read and sign the Archdiocesan policies of conduct
You may complete these requirements by accessing the Virtus database, our Catholic Risk Retention Group focused on the prevention of abuse. If you are new to the program, you will need to create a Virtus profile (http://www.virtus.org/virtus/index.cfm) under the “Registration” tab. If you have already taken the initial in-person training, you will only need to update every three years. You will receive an email alerting you to required updates. Questions may be directed to Sheila Marty in the Parish office.
