ABOUT VIRTUS

"Virtus" is a Latin word meaning: Valor, Moral Strength, Excellence and Courage - the Virtus program is designed to help combat sexual abuse of children and create a safe environment for children. 

Per the Archidocese of San Antonio’s Code of Conduct, two “Safe Environment Trainings” are required: Protecting God's Children and Sexual Harassment Training.  Successful completion of the training results in a completion certification that is good for 3 years. Criminal Background Checks (CBCs) will still be required to coincide with the Virtus training.

The goal of the Virtus program is primarily to be proactive instead of reactive when dealing with child sexual abuse. To prevent sexual abuse, VIRTUS advocates five steps:

1. Knowing the warning signs of abuse
2. Controlling access to children
3. Monitoring programs involving children
4. Being aware of how children behave
5. Communicating concerns
