VIRTUS Program
Last March, our parish implemented the VIRTUS program as mandated by The Diocese of Dallas. Lesson 1 was introduced. The VIRTUS program called "Protecting God's Children" educates our children about appropriate touching. All children in Catholic schools, parish catechetical and youth ministry programs are required to participate. The program is not about sex education, but rather to help create and maintain a safe environment for children/teens and to give them the tools to protect themselves.
Beginning October 11, we will be presenting Lesson 2. Notification of scheduled training will be sent home with students enrolled in our Faith Formation Program, EDGE, and Life Teen a week prior to training. This training will be held during their regularly scheduled class time. Parents are invited to attend with their child. If you have any questions or need further information, contact the Faith Formation Office at (972) 279-6581.
