Adult Safe Environment Awareness Sessions/Training process for every volunteer at Holy Cross.
Every volunteer in any ministry is required to take these classes to serve.
The Office of Safe Environment at our Fort Worth Diocese is offering remotely facilitated (zoom) adult safe environment awareness sessions. To sign up, choose Z - other. Z-other is a class via zoom and may be hosted by other churches as well. Please contact the diocese if you do not receive your zoom link the day before your class.
We at Holy Cross will be facilitating Live sessions in June 2021. I will send you all a flock note message with the date & time.
Here is the website for the diocese with the details on how to register for these classes. Please follow the instructions provided on the website below.
The first step in this process is to create a VIRTUS profile on the diocese website: https://fwdioc.org/training-sessions Please sign up for a class through your VIRTUS profile. Here is some clarification on which class to sign up for:
If you have already attended Protecting God’s Children for Adults session (PGC), the renewal class to sign up for is called Renewal – Keeping the Promise Alive sessions (KPA). Each class is valid for two years. If you do not have a VIRTUS profile, you have not attended the first class. If you last did your training two years ago, you must do the renewal.
If you do not remember when you last took your class, please log into your VIRTUS account to get those details.
Please drop off the required forms to the church office. Please follow step 1 to 4 in the link below.

If you need assistance or clarification, please email me. We can set a time to meet at the office or I can call you and walk you through the signing up process.
