Sometime durign the summer of fall of 2021 the Archdiocese of Cincinnati will change from VIRTUS to SAFE PARISH. All those who have attended VIRTUS will be "grandfathered" into the SAFE PARISH data base and will not have to be re-trained. Training in SAFE PARISH will be only virtual/online; there will be no live training. Monthly VIRTUS training bulletins will change to SAFE PARISH'S quarterly online video training.
You can also find a copy of the SafeParish registration instructions by going to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Safe Environment Office webpage at https://catholicaoc.org/offices/safe-environment. Click on “Top Resources” then click on the link for “SafeParish”. All new volunteers and employees should follow the SafeParish registration instructions for creating a SafeParish account. During the registration process, new volunteers and employees will be invited to complete their background check and child protection training online.
