Protecting God’s Children

At All Saints Catholic Church and All Saints Catholic School, keeping our students safe is our number one priority. We are committed to the Diocesan policy for the Safety and Protection of Children and Youth which requires that all clergy, employees, and adult volunteers who have contact with children complete criminal background checks and attend a live training seminar called “Protecting God’s Children.”

The Diocese of Arlington provides numerous opportunities to attend a one-time 4 hour training. By becoming aware of the warning signs of abuse, by paying attention and working together, we create an environment at All Saints where our youth are protected and safe. This training is helpful for all adults and parents. 

Once your Diocesan background check is approved by our parish/school liaison, you will receive an email from opcysupport@arlingtondiocese.org, where you will be able to register for a Virtus training session.

For detailed instructions on how to complete the process of becoming Virtus compliant, please read the following:
