VIRTUS

TRAINING

Thank you for your interest in serving as a volunteer at St. Francis de Sales (SFdS). SFdS and the Archdiocese of Baltimore have a commitment to maintaining the trust of the faithful by providing our children and youth with safe environments characterized by healthy relationships. All parishes and archdiocesan Catholic schools are required to use “VIRTUS”, a compliance management system that allows all parishes and schools to facilitate compliance with archdiocesan child protection requirements for all volunteers.

Simply log in to www.virtusonline.org and follow the prompts to create a login-ID and password and then complete the background criminal history screening and the assigned online training courses. The final step is to send 3 references using the Volunteer Reference form to:
