The Protection of Children and Youth Initiative of the Archdiocese of
Saint Paul and Minneapolis has one goal: shielding our children from
abuse. The initiative has two components: one is training for clergy,
teachers, volunteers and others who work with children which is called VIRTUS training. The other is
age-appropriate, church-approved safe environment lessons for children
in our Catholic schools and religious education programs.
VIRTUS
training is a three hour awareness session which better equips adults
to protect children in the world around them. It is required of all
clergy, deacons, school and parish employees as well as all volunteers
who are in regular contact with children under the age of 18.
DeLaSalle will schedule one VIRTUS training session each month. Click on one of the two links in the right hand column to see a listing of future sessions offered at DeLaSalle or VIRTUS training sessions offered at other locations in the St. Paul and Minneapolis Archdiocese.
After deciding on a VIRTUS training session to attend please register for that session online. Click on the registration link on the right hand column of this page, and select Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to begin your registration.
