ABUSE PREVENTION

Virtus training continues


The Diocese of Albany has committed itself to providing a "safe environment" for everyone, especially children.

"We believe in education that raises awareness of sexual abuse, that identifies the signs of sexual abuse, that explains how to control access to our children and vulnerable adults, and that encourages responsible reporting of abuse," said a statement from the Diocese. "We have chosen the Virtus program to achieve these goals."

All employees of the Diocese and all volunteers who have contact with children must attend the program as a condition of employment or service.

If you wish to schedule a Virtus presentation at your parish, call Sister Marilyn Murray at 453-6635 or e-mail [email protected].
