The Diocese of Trenton requires anyone over the age of 18 who participates in a Parish ministry to attend a VIRTUS training session every four years to safeguard children and vulnerable adults. Note that this is a change from the previous VIRTUS requirement. What this means is that every adult who currently volunteers for SML Church, School, or PREP and has not previously attended a VIRTUS session, or who has not taken a refresher course within the past four years, must attend a class as soon as possible. VIRTUS Training Sessions are offered at parishes throughout the Diocese. During the months of September and October, St. Mary of the Lakes will offer the following sessions: 9/12 at 10:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. (The September 12 Virtus Session at 6:30 p.m. will be a re-certification class for those who have previously attended a Virtus class - those who have never attended Virtus will need to choose another session listed) in the Parish Meeting Room (PMR) at the School ; 9/19 at 10:00 a.m. in the Prep Conference Room (PCR) at the School; 10/10 at 10:00 a.m. in the PCR; and 10/17 at 10:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. in the PCR. Pre-registration is mandatory at virtusonline.org. Space is limited, so please register as soon as possible. Email questions to [email protected].
