Safeguard Our Children
The Office Victims Assistance Ministry of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles was created in April 2002 to respond to allegations of past or current sexual abuse by anyone working or volunteering for the Archdiocese- clergy, religious or lay persons. The office is charged with creating a safe and compassionate environment in which victim -survivors can come forward and receive counseling and other assistance in the healing process. The office is also charged with ensuring that allegations of sexual abuse are reported to the appropriate civil authorities. For information please visit the Safeguard the Children website.
VIRTUS® Training Classes for St. Vincent DePaul Parish
All employees and volunteers that work with or around children must attend VIRTUS® Training. The VIRTUS® training must be updated every 4 years. However, instead of the 3-hour 'Protecting God's Children' program, Re-certification can be accomplished by completing the 1.5 hour 'Keeping the Promise Alive' program. Re-certification must be accomplished within 30 days of training expiration. Beyond 30 days of expiration, individuals MUST re-accomplish the 3-hour "Protecting God's Children" training program.
