This mandatory three-hour workshop is for all adult parish and school volunteers who work with children. Note: Participants MUST arrive on time and stay until the end to receive their certificate. A light dinner will be served at 5:30. Registration must be completed via the Archdiocese of Detroit's website... see below for intructions.  This VIRTUS Workshop helps to identify best practices programs designed to help prevent wrongdoing and promote "rightdoing" within religious organizations. The VIRTUS programs empower organizations and people to better control risk and improve the lives of all those who interact with the Church.
