Catechist and all volunteers of St. Julia Parish must complete VIRTUS a "Child Protection" session in order to be involved as a volunteer in this Parish. This is a one-time 2 & 1/2 hour session and does not need to be repeated. Please contact the Religious Education office for information about upcoming CHILD PROTECTION TRAINING (CAP).

What is VIRTUS training? How does it work?
Maximizing a church's role as a child-safe environment begins with making adults more aware of the ways children and adults interact with each other. The PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN program educates and trains adults (clergy, religious, teachers, staff, volunteers, and parents) about the dangers of abuse, the warning signs of abuse, the ways to prevent abuse, the methods of properly reporting suspicions of abuse, and responding to allegations of abuse. St. Julia Parish has a distinguished group of CAP trainers (Child Abuse Prevention) who train volunteers. The CAP trainers (parishioners) are, Nancy Dunn, Kathleen Logan-Prince and Anna Pollock.
