Training continues in Diocese

To make attendance as convenient as possible for Church employees and volunteers, Virtus programs have been scheduled throughout the Albany Diocese in coming months.

Virtus is the required educational program for those who have contact with children. It is part of the Diocese's ongoing effort to maintain a safe environment for children.
