Through a series of workshops, educational materials, media articles and background checks, the Diocese is:

• Increasing awareness of potentially harmful situations through the VIRTUS Protecting God's Children adult training workshops.
• Implementing a Diocesan Code of Conduct for Those Working with Minors which outlines acceptable and unacceptable behaviors for all clergy, employees and volunteers.
• Evaluating background checks for relevance to the employee’s or volunteer’s position.
• Providing continuing education through the VIRTUS Web site.
