VIRTUS Training – Protecting God’s Children

As part of our continuing ministry to create safe environments for our children and to meet the requirements as set by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas and Fr. Ron Livojevich, pastor of Nativity Parish are requiring that all adults who work with, or are in contact with children under the age of 18, in any capacity on the parish level, school level or any activities associated with the parish and/or school, go through the VIRTUS training and return all associated paper work, including the release form which authorizes the parish VIRTUS coordinator to run a background check.

It is Fr. Ron’s policy that no one will be allowed to continue in their ministry or volunteerism here at Nativity if they are subject to be in compliance with VIRTUS, and are not. This policy is effective immediately.  

If you are a school parent or parish volunteer who occasionally or substantial contact with children under the age of 18, you MUST be in compliance with all VIRTUS requirements before you can continue in your volunteer role.

Please take responsibility for your VIRTUS training. Visit VIRTUS at www.virtus.org and register for an upcoming session.  If you do not have access to a computer, please call Karen in the parish office, 491-5017, and she can assist you in the registration process.

After your VIRTUS training, please be sure to return all completed paper work to the parish office.  Please be assured that all information is kept confidential and secure.

If you have any questions or need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our parish VIRTUS coordinator, Karen McDonald at 491.5017.
